Annika Lundkvist, FSI on LinkedIn: Been dairy free for 10 years now & never going back!! If you’re curious… (2024)

A key to mainstreaming whole foods plant based (WFPB) dining as well as awareness is availability of WFPB options from affordable, quick fare to gourmet options & across the range of dining. In the 10 years that I have been vegan (and about 6 largely WFPB) I’ve experienced & observed significant development around this but can vary widely by region & local culture of options & understanding. (I can only imagine the radical changes that those who have been #vegan longer have observed….)Creative, fresh, thoughtful WFPB cuisine excites me so much. What was one of the most delicious plant-based dishes you have experienced? Photo: Experiencing this dish of Celeriac ‚steak’, greens, cashews & carmelized onions today at Gardens by Fort restaurant in Warsaw. I had it prepared without one ingredient listed on the menu to veganize it. A savvy & thoughtful kitchen will have no problem doing so 👏🏽#plantbased #vegan #plantbasedcuisine #WFPB #vegangastronomy

Very glad and motivated to represent Pedestrian Space as a member in the University of California, DavisInter-Institutional Network for Food, Agriculture, and Sustainability (INFAS). As I continue to work to bring issues of food and community resilience into my work at Pedestrian Space, it is really invaluable to be part of such networks doing meaningful, multidisciplinary work with food systems.„INFASenvisionsa US food system that is environmentally sustainable and socially just. Ourmissionis to facilitate INFASmembercollaborations to:-Increase our capacity to help build U.S. food system resilience, sustainability, andequity.-Raise visibility of research-based insights into food system problems and solutions.-Catalyze frontier work in food systems research, higher education, extension, and institutional change that we can achieve much better together than by working alone.-Diversify who is doing food systems work in academia and in action-focused research, education and extension.”https://lnkd.in/d7nqzHWz#foodsystems

This shopping trolley has a story! Bought on a Saturday in August from a shop on the Pest side of Budapest & later seen here rolling on the lush & verdant Margaret Island, this shopping trolley will spend its first substantial chapter of use on errands in Warsaw 🏙️I ♥️ my shopping trolleys for #walkableweekends, neighborhood errands, grocery shopping & general walkable life!! In this clip we had multiple water bottles + snacks & other items loaded up into the trolley on its first walk! Do you love using a #shoppingtrolley too?🌉#walkability #urbanism

This was my 2nd visit to Budapest & even after several days & much exploration, I know & feel I have only scratched the surface….. There are so many more paths I want to walk, flavors to experience & explore, dialogues with local inhabitants to have. I’m stirred to learn more….of the city depicted in literature & on film, about local ingredients, characteristics of districts & more.What places stir your soul, imagination & curiosity?📹 Passing by Batthyány tér metro station // Annika Lundkvist, FSI #soulofplace #geniusloci #Budapest

Free, safe, clean and accessible public toilets should not be the responsibility of any commercial and private enterprise.Such an amenity is a vital & basic public good.#urbangovernance #toiletequity

Aspects, experiences & realities of community are part of the heart of my interest & work with #walkability. Thus I was very excited to learn about the book ‘Community as Urban Practice’ by Tanja Blokland (Polity, 2017)I began this engrossing read on holiday in Budapest, photographed here at the Sunday market at ruin pub Szimpla today where I had a nice time exploring the diverse goods & chatting especially with vendors specialising in hot sauces from chili peppers grown in their pepper-rich gardens.——————————-📗About the book ‘Community as Urban Practice’“Community is a central idea in urban studies but remains conceptually vague and empirically difficult to work with. Building on existing theories of community, Talja Blokland offers an important contribution to defining and understanding this key theme.Blokland argues that there has been too much focus on community as a stable construct, formed by durable relationships with kin, friends, social groups or neighbours. She draws attention to the non-durable, fluid encounters that constitute community, theorizing communities as shared urban practices in a globalizing world. The book proposes two core ways of thinking about community: the dimension of familiarity, defined by our ability to construct identities, and the dimension of access, defined by our freedom to enter and leave urban spaces. These dimensions form various urban configurations which enable us to experience and practise community in diverse ways. As this book maintains, community is after all an urban practice, not a fixed state of affairs.”#booksonurbanism #booksabouturbanism
