img_8595The CAPSELLA Consortium and OPERA Italian Observatory for Agroecology would like to thank very much the over 90 participants who actively joined the conference, held on May the 8th in Milano at the Acquario Civico.

The meeting was an opportunity to network with and exchange ideas with agrobiodiversity,  agroecology and food experts from research and academia, from NGO representatives, policy makers and citizens.

img_8600It was a chance to better understand how future agriculture and food systems can be made sustainable thanks to ICT and Open Data innovations. Europe’s most creative scientists in open data and agriculture, food professionals, farmers, researchers, ICT and open data experts exchanged experiences and case studies and involved all participants in an open “conversation”. Participants were also given the possibility to test and see the latest apps and prototypes created by open innovation and co-design such as the new SOILapp and the Storytelling app.

img_8649Harvesting Innovation was meant for forward thinking innovators who care about the planet, health and food security and hopefully we managed to achieve what was the event mission.

Please keep on following the CAPSELLA leading minds who will propose ideas, share with communities latest innovations, and continue the innovation path
