MINA SHABBAKI, GÖRKEM ÖLMEZ & NINA LAM

Mina Shabbaki, Görkem Ölmez and Nina Lam received the 2019 WIN WIN Youth Award for their winning project idea  'Algae - the solution to the future food supply?' 

The project idea behind the winning contribution aims to make algae more accessible and increase its consumption through small-scale production in the local area.

Jury's motivation read:  "Based on the three dimensions of sustainability, we have a winner who, in an innovative and concrete way, creates a local solution to the global food production problem. The winners have identified several important sustainability issues, from reducing meat consumption and transportation to social sustainability in a vibrant countryside. The solution is a realistic example of how to create societal value in one's local environment."

The task for the students was to come up with a project idea within the framework of their high school project work that was related to the theme of WIN WIN Award.
