Depolarizing Food Systems: From Polarization to Co-Creation

Описание: The Conscious Food Systems Alliance (CoFSA) is a global movement convened by UNDP, bringing together practitioners, policymakers, farmers, researchers, and organizations to integrate inner transformation and consciousness-based approaches into food systems change.

In this interactive CoFSA dialogue, “Depolarizing Food Systems: From Polarization to Co-Creation” (28 January 2026), we explore one of the most pressing dynamics shaping food systems today: polarization—and how it can become a catalyst for empathy, creativity, and systemic renewal.

Across food systems, divisions often emerge between environmental and agri-industrial actors, meat eaters and vegans, policymakers and producers. This session invites us to look beneath these divides and discover how “creative tension” can open pathways toward collaboration and shared purpose.

During this 90-minute session, experts and practitioners share:
• Why food systems debates so often become polarized
• How polarization can be transformed through dialogue and co-creation
• Practical case studies from conflict mediation and cooperation-building
• Inner capacities such as deep listening, curiosity, and non-judgment

The session combines speaker inputs, real-world experiences, small-group reflections, and a live Q&A, fostering both collective insight and connection.
