The ceremony will feature the round table How can science contribute to tackling societal challenges? with Jane Battersby (Daniel Carasso Prize 2017), Carlos Mataix (Centro de Innovación en Tecnología para el Desarrollo Humano -itdUPM-), María Navarro (Ministerio de Transición Ecológica y Reto Demográfico) y María Ramos (Alimentta think tank). It will be an occasion to explore the possibilities for the transition to sustainable food systems, as well as other inspiring surprises.

A new project on sustainable public food procurement led by ICTA-UAB researcher Daniel Gaitán is one of the two proposals awarded. The first edition of the Daniel Carasso Fellowship, aimed at supporting young postdoctoral researchers committed to systemic research on sustainable food in Spain, has also awarded the project on the digitization of seeds presented by the Spanish researcher Raquel Ajates González.

 Daniel Gaitán's project “Sustainable public food procurement in Spain: evidence to date and scaling opportunities” will be carried out at the ICTA-UAB, where he is part of the SEVERAS project (Socio-Environmental Vulnerability in Rural Spain).
