Global 24-hour Digital Marathon: Food for Earth

Dear colleagues,

We are extremely pleased to invite you to the Global 24-hour Digital Marathon: Food for Earth to bring together bright minds and best practices on sustainable food systems for regenerating the Planet, organized by the Future Food Institute and FAO elearning Academy on 22 April 2020. 

This knowledge-sharing experience, fully aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals framework, will aim to place nature and the future of our planet back at the centre of our lives and thinking.

This relay of positivity and goodness, like an ideal Olympic torch, will travel from East to West, passing from indigenous people who reflect the identity of entire territories to entrepreneurs, startups, scientists, journalists, young leaders, policymakers, consultants, farmers. The torch will pass from China to Japan, India, Europe, Africa, Latin America, North America and even the North and South Poles, as we connect with scientists at the Concordia Station.

Be part of this 24h Marathon, connect with us, support us in spreading the word through your networks, add your voice to the common chorus, help us involve key speakers in your region, farmers, indigenous people, young entrepreneurs and decision-makers, that can share with us local challenges and experiences for sustainability. 

We believe that together we can make a pivotal contribution to changing mindsets, values and behaviours for sustainability.  We believe that your voice can be stronger, with all of us, and we are convinced that together we can make a change after Covid, for a brighter future.

The official hashtags of the 24h Marathon will be #goodaftercovid19 and #food4earth.
