On September 24th, the SOSFood project took part in the conference “One Health, One Soil: Safe Food on a Healthy Planet”, held in Lisbon as part of the “1st FoodLink Conference Series – Seeds to Transform the Food System in a Network.”
Organised by NOVA Medical School, the event invited experts, practitioners and policymakers to reflect on the central role of soil in fostering human and environmental health through the One Health approach. Discussions explored how soil quality, sustainable farming practices, and food safety are deeply interconnected — highlighting the importance of healthy soils for nutritious and safe food.
During the event, Diogo Pestana, representing the SOSFood team, presented our project and shared how SOSFood contributes to building more sustainable and resilient food systems across Europe.
The conference was the first in the FoodLink series, launched by CCDR Lisboa e Vale do Tejo and NOVA Medical School, aiming to accelerate the transition towards fair, sustainable, and healthy food systems in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.
