From Soil To Gut - Basel City and Aargau on Partnership in Food Health
from Audio Story With Ajita · host Ajita Chowhan
Basel-Stadt and Aargau Launch "Food Health" Partnership to Build a Cross-Cantonal Innovation Ecosystem Government Counselor Dieter Egli (Canton of Aargau) and Kaspar Sutter (Basel City) discuss a new cantonal partnership between Basel-Stadt and Aargau built around the "Food Health" initiative, described as a first concrete cross-canton project of its kind. They explain the goal of working together in Switzerland's many small (and half) cantons to strengthen innovation amid global uncertainty and protectionism. The program focuses on the full food value chain "from soil to gut" and is organized around three pillars: Planet Health, Human Health, and Regenerative Food Systems. Partners include Regio Basiliensis (coordination), Basel Area Business and Innovation Hub (startup support/accelerator), the University of Basel (innovation office and ecosystem building), and the High-Tech Center Aargau (connecting research institutions with existing companies to develop marketable products).
