Reimagining Food Education: Trends, Challenges & Opportunities is a research-based guide that explores how food education in Europe can evolve to meet the demands of a changing world.
Drawing on analysis from the Netherlands, Ireland, Portugal and the broader European context, the guide examines three interconnected themes shaping the future of food:
Digitalisation – the growing role of technology in food systems and education.
Social inclusion – food as both a cultural connector and a site of inequality.
Environmental change – the urgent need to align food education with sustainability goals.
The guide highlights key policies, country case studies, and innovative practices while also identifying the challenges that stand in the way of meaningful reform. It is designed for educators, policymakers, and industry partners seeking to understand current dynamics and unlock opportunities for shaping a more inclusive, sustainable, and future-ready food education system.
