Food, Places & Innovation
​
There is an increasing interest in place-based approaches to value creating in local and regional food economies. Developing the identity of cities and regions turning them into arenas for gastronomic innovation and at the same time involving citizens and enterprises in new ways has become a popular strategy in cities and regions around the world. Creating innovative urban food eco systems however, is a challenge that requires governance, well planned strategies and participation of a broad range of actors. In particular the active participation of citizens and food makers are crucial if the urban food movement of is to create value for the society as such. The course explores the new place based foodways by bringing scholars and practitioners together around the materiality of food it self. It provides unique opportunities for collaborative academic inquiry. The course setting is the Melstedgaard Food lab at isle of Bornholm that over the spring 2019 runs the Meal Pilot educational program for food entrepreneurs, consultants, food professionals, civil servants and others in charge of or involved in development of food strategies at local, regional or national level. The course will mark the closing event of the Meal Pilot progression and will provide unique opportunities for PhD students to conduct collaborative data collection and field studies in direct connection with the hands on food activities at the food lab. The course will in addition involve off lab excursions to innovative food hot spots in the surrounding foodscapes on the island and lecturers from practioners.
