About the network
The network seeks to put issues concerning food and water on the agenda while also establishing the connection with citizens on a local level. They share knowledge, discuss research projects and develop cross-border collaborations.
The network provides a space to share knowledge and ideas, discuss research projects and develop cross-border collaborations. For this end, they get together in network meetings at the Dataharvest – European Investigative Journalism Conference as well as the Climate Arena Conference.
The range of topics to investigate is wide: from food production and distribution, pesticides or water consumption, to lobbying battles and commodity trading patterns. Moreover, all of this takes place against the background of the significant climate impact of food production. While there are several journalistic investigations, academic and civil society works that address these issues, they often remain in their national realms or professional contexts. As a result, the impact of research on the European agenda setting remains limited, even though it affects citizens across Europe. The network aims to change this and connect the people, journalists and experts, beyond geographical and professional borders.
