The weekend of May 5th has been quite busy for the Food in Action team!
In addition to Eat Up Sundsvall, we co organised a Food Hackaton in Torsta Kunskapscentrum / Grönt Center in Ås. This Hackaton was an event where creative individuals gather during 48 hours and together turn problems into something magical.

About the Food hack
Norrlands first Food Hackathon! Where passionate individuals combine their skills in agriculture, technology, design, communication, logistics and much more in order to reveal todays food challenges. A 48h brainstorming to develop solutions in a creative environment. A great team worked together and strengthened their skills with expertise, work-shop infrastructure, soulfood and power-break sessions to fill up their energy.
Great food from Torsta was proposed to the participants to help them be creative!
