The Center for Climate IT is co-organising a Donut Cinema together with the environmental organisation Miljøpunkt Amager. A donut cinema is an event that combines knowledge about Kate Raworth's doughnut economy framework, a film screening and dialogue with the aim of boosting action for a better world. The Donut Cinema is part of the course IT and Green Transitions, but the event is open to all students and staff at ITU, as well as external guests. Get your ticket using the link below.

At this Donut Cinema, we open with Kate Raworth's doughnut economy – a framework on staying within the planetary boundaries that keeps life going while meeting the needs of all inhabitants on the planet. This time, we focus on biodiversity and biosphere integrity - and what monoculture does to the soil and to our food.

We follow with a screening of 'FRø' by Isabelle Denaro, a documentary that examines the consolidation of the world's seed supply and the efforts of small-scale farmers and seed alliances in the Nordics holding onto Nordic seeds to ensure food resilience.

At our event, we say no to the dystopia, and instead, we turn to solar punk for potential solutions – the bet that good engineering and good cultivation go hand in hand. Here, we aim to explore how we might serve soil, seed, and seasons rather than drain them. Perhaps through precision, data, and AI – or not?

After the screening, Isabelle Denaro (director and also founder of Self-sustaining Cities) joins us for a conversation with Megan Lynn Maurer (Assistant Professor of Digital Green Transitions at the IT University of Copenhagen) and Louise Windfeldt from Frøsamlerne. We are also looking into if Nordic Seed Alliance can join us.
After the event, we encourage participants to continue their discussions over sourdough pizza, which is kindly provided by Slow Food Youth Copenhagen.

The event is free to attend, but registration is required. Use the link below to reserve your ticket.
