State of the art

Today, food is a priority subject with regards to sustainable development from a technical point of view. It is at the same time an eminently cultural issue.

Description of the project

Environmental sustainability is at the core of the Table and the Territory. T&T is a transdisciplinary European project to develop, link and enable a community of cultural actors engaged in the ecological transition and sustainable food; to meet, share their expertise, assemble skills, evaluate (with scientists), share (with the public) and argue (with policies), the emergence on a European and eventually global scale, the importance of culture-based solutions. Following an initial 30-month program, The T&T aims to integrate other European actors and initiatives in order to build a sustainable network to develop a new culture of ecology and territorial renewal as well as to incarnate alternative artistic, scientific and political narratives of the Earth’s transformation.

From the fields to fine gastronomy, hybrid initiatives proposed by artists in the fields of agriculture and food are multiplying on across Europe. T&T reunites all of these initiatives in one network.

Creative Europe’s support

Sustainable food, an eminently cultural, societal and ecological subject is an issue at European Union level. La Table et le Territoire program capitalizes on the know-how on this topic at European level with a large network of actors, scientists, cultural professionals and locals and aims to create the conditions for synergy at European level.

Beyond Environmental Sustainability

T&T and COAL, more generally, promote gender equity through all of the projects. Many of the partner organisations are female run organisations and by their mere existence, they promote gender by their model of survival in a traditionally male culture-field.
