🔀Beyond Tech: New attitudes & approaches to reach the (food) paradigm shift

In this section, we hear from Edith Claros and Maarten Crivits on creating a paradigm shift and what that looks like in our food system(s).

Key terms that emerged during the interviews with Edith Claros and Maarten Crivits.

Creating a paradigm shift

What paradigm are we in right now? Where do we want to go? What does this have to do with food? In this section, we work to understand how, in order to change our paradigm-- from an extractive and linear food system to a distributed and empowering one-- we need to first undergo an internal shift. In the next section, Ego to Eco, Edith Claros (Co-Responsable) helps us explore an internal shift to address paradigm change while in Our food paradigm shift, Maarten Crivits (Institute for Agriculture and Fisheries Research (ILVO) and the Centre for Sustainable Development at the University of Ghent), grounds that paradigm shift in our food system.

The conversation with Edith is in the form of an interview that is divided into three capsules: meet Edith Claros, Why & How an internal shift is needed to create an external paradigm shift, and What practical tips innovators like yourself can put into practice.

Meanwhile, the written conversation with Maarten is divided into: Why we want to shift from our current food system, How we might do that, and What a paradigm shift looks like in tech.
