Interdiscplinarity at SLU
One of the most important goals for the Future Platforms is to develop interdisciplinary working methods at SLU by initiating and enabling collaboration across scientific disciplinary boundaries.
Food & Cities
Food & Cities is a collaboration between SLU Future Food and SLU Urban Futures. The project seeks to identify knowledge gaps and cross-disciplinary research questions and investigates how a long-term thematic focus on food and cities could be established at SLU.

Support and collaboration
SLU Future Food strives to stimulate inter- and multidisciplinary research and education, generate science-based decision support, support and contribute in attracting research funding, and stimulate research networking and cooperation.
