• Pete’s organic pizza’s
  16 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

  Take a cool guy (must be a great cook though).
  Add a converted vintage horse trailer.
  Name it "Raffaele" – the trailer, not the cook.
  Use as much as local and organic ingredients.
  Heat up to 456° degrees.
  And you have... Pete and his amazing pizza’s!
  Pete created 456 degrees in Tampere. His story is amazing and his pizza’s are so yummy!! Track Pete and Raffaele and make sure this amazing idea spreads everywhere...

• Fista’s canteen is boosting vegetarian options
  11 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

  The Finnish International School of Tampere’s canteen is now boosting vegetarian meals and that’s great!
  This school located in Amuri "has been chosen for a pilot where vegetarian food is offered as a second lunch option to all students every day. Students can choose which food to eat each day, or they can choose both" said the principal Ulla Hiltunen.
  It is now well know that an excessive consomption of meat isn’t that good for our health and, with the massive industrialisation of (…)

• Community Supported Agriculture... what’s that?
  24 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

  CSA means Community Supported Agriculture. As you know, a farmer’s harvest depends on the weather. Not only but mostly. And it has always been hard for farmers to anticipate the quality of harvest, and the amount of clients.CSA was created to mitigate the risks for farmers.
  I have found here a good definition. It "consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes—either legally or spiritually—the community’s farm, with the growers (…)

  18 August 2020, by Eva Wissenz

  Tired of tasteless veggies imported from all over the world? Of course.
  The Finnish summer is there to reload us, especially at Tammelantori market where Rekola’s farmer is selling super tasty veggies every Friday and Saturdays, 9-13.
  It’s fresh, organic and even biodynamic. And you wish to support even more local agriculture, this farm has a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) where you can buy weekly baskets for the whole season (more info here). There are 4 or 5 picking points in (…)

• 1st Sustainable Fellow’s lunch
  6 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

  Welcome to join the Sustainable fellow’s lunch!
  Sustainability and impact are not as mainstream in Finland as in other Scandinavian countries. So, we are having lunch together to share about our experience with sustainable challenges, create inspirational networking, and maybe explore ways of future cooperation.
  A bit more about the intention... When we start a project or an action related to sustainability, a lot of energy is often wasted trying to explain our vision and your specific (…)

• A bit more organic food?
  8 February 2020, by Eva Wissenz

  You are very welcome to join Tampiiri ry!! This association exists since 20 years and counts 150 members. Its first mission is to make organic food accessible to students but since a few years it is open to all.
  Through Tampiiri, it has been possible to order organic local food monthly or twice a month. We hope that with more dynamic members, we could go back to that!
  But the association is also well known for the seedlings sale, the workshops and others exciting events. Join us for a (…)

• Special foodies - Fujimi ravintola - Tampere amazing restaurants series (2)
  20 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

  Wonderful sushi and vegetarian options here! Because well, sometimes I wonder if Tampere is an annex of Japan. It’s still a medium size city but there are so many sushi places. Every 500m, bam, sushi. And almost all supermarkets have now a sushi bar. So, problem? Yeah, problem.
  These sushi are far, like VERY far from what fresh tasty sushi are supposed to be. They all taste the same more or less. The rice is like a little white brick that is doing what Finns seem to praise (with all (…)

• Urban Dinner goes Tampere
  22 April 2021, by Eva Wissenz

  Dodo’s association is organizing a tour of events related to food waste in the autumn. Urban farming and food waste dinners will take place even before that! Come along and share your ideas.
  We have planned cooperation e.g. to the directions of Nekala, Kaukajärvi and Hiedanranta. Dodo could be involved in making urban farming to have more community spirit, for example through these events.
  Urban Dinner is a series of waste food events that includes a variety of workshops and discussions. (…)
