In collaboration with the Women’s Initiative for Start-ups and Entrepreneurship (WISE) in Vietnam, Rikolto assembled more than 100 farmers, distributors, retailers, researchers, government authorities and stakeholders from the food supply chain in Hanoi to exchange opportunities and challenges and address solutions towards building sustainable urban food systems.
The workshop “Effective distribution of healthy, sustainable and nutritious agri-food in the urban food system”, held in July, was organised in partnership with WISE - a wide network of women start-ups and entrepreneurs – to create a forum which among its objectives supports young entrepreneurs developing ventures that contribute to the sustainability of urban food systems. At this workshop, the first steps are being taken.
