Global 24-hour Digital Marathon: Food for Earth

Global 24-hour Digital Marathon: Food for Earth

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 be human and nature-centred and will reflect the shift from design-thinking to prosperity-thinking, by placing nature back at the centre of our lives. 

This relay of positivity and goodness, like an ideal Olympic torch, will travel from East to West, passing from indigenous people that 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, spread the word, 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.

Together, as #goodaftercovid19, we can identify and perpetuate the good aspects generated from Covid i.e. the good values, behaviours, practices that we will bring to the "new normal".

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