Events break down silos and bring the agrifood ecosystem together

As an ecosystem developer, I've learned that why we gather and how we do it is key for breaking down silos, sparking innovation, disseminating information, and cross pollinating ideas.

I also know that to create a better future, we have to ncollaborate more. That mainly happens when we get to know each other, build trust, and don't see each other as "other."

n

In this episode, I share my philosophy for gathering diverse parts of the ecosystem and why it's so important to have an open mind and constantly seek to learn from others.

Introducing Future Food with Analisa Winther

4 years ago I started the Nordic FoodTech Podcast. A lot has happened since then. I’ve evolved. The show’s evolved and now it’s time for a change.
I’m rebranding the show to be called Future Food with Analisa Winther and we’re going global!
The show’s core focus will stay the same: share stories of individuals and organizations creating a better future through food to foster more awareness and collaboration BUT the scope will now be global and more broad when it comes to topic areas.
I share the full thinking and reasoning behind the rebrand in this minisode.

Intention Setting and Designing Your Year

Here are two exercises I often do at the end of the year. The first one is about reflecting on what happened in the year past before defining what you want to create more of in the year to come. This is summarized by one word that anchors the vision. The second practice is one I love to do with family and friends around the holidays. It’s about acknowledgement and enabling your community to support you.
n
nOften when starting with a new client, we do a check-in on where they are right now before we take a look at what they want to create in the next 12 months. This is a practice I do with individuals and organizations. It’s about creating the big vision and then working backwards to determine what needs to happen to get there. When we create a vision and share it with others – whether in our professional or personal lives – we enable others to support us in getting there.
n
nIf you do either exercise, send me a message and let me know how it went. Feel free to tag me on Instagram or LinkedIn. I love to hear from you and sharing with others can inspire them to do the same.
