Studium Generale – sausage or broccoli?
Is the question of whether to eat meat or not an open and shut case, or do you think there is more to the topic than meets the eye? Is the future lab-grown imitation meat, full veganism, or simply more sustainable food-production over all?
Date: 23 April 2026
Time: 12:00 - 13:00
Venue: The Loftet banquetroom
Language: English
Organiser: SLU University Library

This edition of Studium Generale deals with sustainable and ethical food production. You are invited to listen to Per Sandin, senior lecturer in bioethics and environmental ethics at the Department of Plant Production Ecology (SLU), and Cyrille Gaubert, CEO of Uppsala Food Council, among others, before exploring your own thinking through moderated discussion and reflection.
Come as you are. Whether you take to reflection like a fish to water or feel that it’s out of your depth, we’ve got you.
Your hosts are Pernilla Glaser from the SLU University Library and Matthew Kessler from the food system platform TABLE (see below).
There will be free lunch sandwiches available for the first 50 attendees.
About Studium Generale and TABLE
Studium Generale is a platform where students and staff meet and reflect together on society, learning and their own roles and responsibilities. At Studium Generale, the focus is the art of thinking together and enjoying a diversity of perspectives.
TABLE helps people navigate the evidence, values and visions shaping debates about the future of food systems. Urgent change is needed to make our food systems fairer, healthier and more sustainable, but discussions about how to get there are polarized and often unproductive. TABLE works to find paths forward in these discussions.
