For this evening you will not only be eating potatoes, but also discover and discuss the challenges farming potatoes.

In a panel discussion with politicians, supermarkets, farmers and consumers we will discover the complex issues of ecological potato farming especially concerning labour and the issues tied immigrant workers and social sustainability.

After the discussion we will move the discussion to the tables and enjoy a delicious meal and more interesting talks.

This event is a collaboration between H15 and talented people from the food industry in Zürich and we look forward to welcoming you in and for us to get wiser on sustainable potato farming together.
