Spotlight on Local Practice Partners: FoodCircle Karlsruhe Germany

April 9, 2025 by Robert Orzanna

Ashley Colby of SCORAI produced this video highlighting one Local Practice Partner and one researcher from our Karlsruhe, Germany hub. In this video, we hear from Wanda Wieczorek of KIT in Karlsruhe and Sandra Schmidt of FoodCircle, one of the project's main partners. 

They discuss the goal of FoodCircle, what it has been like working in a transdisciplinary way together, and discuss what role FoodCircle might play in a transformed, sustainable food future for Karlsruhe. 

Co-SFSC stands for Co-creating Sustainable Food Supply Chains, and it is a project that combines both research and transformation across five hubs: Germany, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. 

The project is unique because the research on sustainable food supply chains includes a focus on cooperatives and the roles they might play along the supply chain, and for its transdisciplinary approach and transformative ambition.
