This year’s Greentopia focus: food!

How can artists, music festivals and live events take action for a food system within the Planetary Boundaries?

Feeding a growing global population while protecting the Earth is one of the biggest challenges of our time.  While Greentopia will explore a diverse range of climate action across music, art, sport and live events, food will be a central focus for this year’s summit. Food is not just a necessity – it’s an experience and an art form, and has been an important part of Way Out Wests identity as well as sustainability work.

Announced speakers:

Gunhild Stordalen, Founder & Executive Chair of EAT Foundation
Line Gordon, Professor in Sustainability Science at Stockholm Resilience Centre (SU)
Andri Snær Magnason, writer and film director
Maria Wolrath Söderberg, Associate Professor in Rhetorics
Martin Kann, Creative Director
Mina Dennert, Founder Jag Är Här
Gustav Johansson, food influencer and founder of Jävligt Gott
Jessie Sommarström, Award-winning chef
Sofia B. Olsson, Award-winning chef

The program is hosted by Isabelle McAllister and Andreas Magnusson.

Way Out West will also be visited by bob hund, but in a slightly different form than the audience is used to. Istället för bob hund: FOOD TRUCK is a wild and playful research project that this year’s visitors can experience on-site in Slottsskogen. Here, two dishes will be served: Låt mig tala till PUNK-gryta and En falafel-ish och en lösning – both developed by the band in collaboration with researchers and food innovators from PLATE, based on principles rooted in ecology, justice, and preparedness.

Greentopia is a collaboration between Svensk Live, Stockholm Resilience Centre, LiveGreen, Way Out West, Göteborg & Co and Studiefrämjandet.
