Dr. Evdokia Krystallidou, Director of the Innovation & Impact HUB of American Farm School, has been voted one of the 50 most influential executives in the Food Innovation sector 🎉🎉 Dr. Krystallidou stated: "Research and innovation pave new paths in agri-food, and their value becomes wealth for society and the economy when someone mediates to connect researchers with users. Our duty, as need scouts and innovation intermediaries, is to ensure that these paths remain accessible and open for all, environmentally green, and productive for the economy and society." The Food Innovation 50 list is the first effort by Foodreporter and BOUSSIAS media to deeply explore and discover those executives from the R&D departments of food and beverage industries, including laboratories, inspections, studies, and research, as well as academic figures in the fields of food technology and safety, who contribute innovation and new scientific data. At the end of the day, they transform research into practice, adding value to the final product and the market itself. 🔗 See the full Food Innovation 50 Powerlist 2024 in the online edition: https://lnkd.in/d8Mrk-CT#foodinnovation #agrifood #americanfarmschool

“In an article published today in Nature Food, a team of international experts delves into the urgent need for democratizing knowledge to revolutionize global food systems. Titled "Knowledge Democratization Approaches for Food Systems Transformation," the article emphasizes the necessity of incorporating traditional, Indigenous, and place-based knowledges into decision-making processes to address blind spots in current food system policies and actions.The principles outlined in the article emphasize the importance of epistemic justice, intercultural co-creation, and knowledge mutualism and exchange in democratizing knowledge-policy processes. These principles, the authors argue, are essential for addressing biases and empowering marginalized communities in shaping food system transformations.”https://lnkd.in/eKUihuae
