    2. Visualizing and communicating carbon footprint and sustainability impact
    3. Future food system transport and logistics
    4. Functions of food, [sustainability, justice,] and how to communicate them
    5. Carbon farming and food services

    Important dates (see further instructions in Assignments):

      • Case introduction on Thursday (13.1.)
      • Idea presentations on Thursday (27.1.)

    Side note: The concepts generated for the themes could be independent use-cases. The ideas do not have to be limited within the scope of supermarkets. The involvement of the S-group in the course would be that of a commenter, not a client. Therefore, building a use case around it would not affect the evaluation of your team's output.
