This year SHIFT Vaud is back with an event full of vitamins to stock up on inspiration, connections and good food in good company. And what better than soup to represent this mixture of potential present every year? For a good soup, you need a little bit of everything, not just beautiful and sized vegetables. To transform our nourishing system we need a few quirky ideas and a few unexpected ingredients. We will play the role of the pot and the blender, creating a meeting and exchange space open to all the vegetables and spices present at the event.

For once, we have planned our blend of special spices known as *Innovation Booster*, which can accompany your ideas and support them with funding of CHF 22,500 to 39,000. This year, it will be about our food system as a whole, the social processes governing it, the mobility of our food and even the potential of our agricultural system to clothe us! So come and enhance, spice up, or improve our soup by adding your own ingredients.

Why and for whom?

We want to close the loops and are convinced that all the solutions already exist within the ecosystem - we just need to find and connect them. We need all parts of our food chain, from seed to stomach, to create solutions collectively.
