Summer School An Epistemology of Food Waste. Interdisciplinary Perspectives. June 14-18, 2026

This video documents the Summer School coordinated by Nicola Piras (CEPS - University of Minho) as part of the activities of Culinary Mind, developed within the Exploratory Project in All Scientific Domains 2023 — 2023.12085.PEX, An Epistemology for Food Waste. Interdisciplinary Perspectives (EpiFoWa), funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. The Summer School offered an intensive interdisciplinary space to explore the “epistemology of food waste”: the diverse forms of knowledge, expertise, and experience that shape how food waste is identified, understood, measured, and managed. Bringing together perspectives from philosophy, food studies, environmental sciences, political theory, and experiential knowledge, the program invited participants to reflect on food waste as a complex concept shaped by scientific, traditional, embodied, and normative forms of knowledge.
