Global Foodnet is a network that brings together food innovators in Kenya, southern Africa, Peru and Finland, developing foods from indigenous foods with indigenous knowledge.
Global Foodnet is formed by the University of Eastern Finland (UEF), the Centre of Innovation for Andean Grains (CIINCA) at the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (UNALM), Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), University Innovations Global (UI) and the Southern Africa Network for Biosciences (SanBIO) .
Global Foodnet will feature in University Innovation Global’s SouthVation webinar series, to tell the stories of food innovation from indigenous foods with indigenous knowledge.
The webinar, Innovative Gastronomy, is the second in a three-part webinar series which will culminate into UI-SouthVation’s Challenge 2021.
