PROVIANTEN - EN INKUBATOR FÖR DET GODA

Sammanfattning: A former industry town where the one big industry has left town. Spacial segregation and a lack of social and ecological resilience. No common ground (both litterarly and figuratively). Prognosis: double the inhabitants by 2100, to 20.000. That is the current situation of the city of Torshälla.   A global food system that is broken and responsible for more than a third of the green house gas emissions. Production, consumtion and transportation need to be more sustainable. Also, we are unprepared – there will be an increase of 60-70% in food demand by 2050.  PROVIANTEN - A building with a purpose of proposing a solution to the current challenges in the city of Torshälla and also striving to be an accelerator in transforming our food industry to be more sustainable. In Provianten the people will meet through ”good food”.  Some of the people will be entrepreneurs with an aim to challenge the existing food system and to explore new possibilites. Maybe it is by producing new forms of proteins, maybe through yummy veggie food or maybe finding more efficient ways of transporting food. Some people will be there to cook and eat together, to learn mor and to meet new and existing friends and neighbours around a common interest in good food.
