Affiliated Members
The ESSEC Food Business Challenges Chair wishes to become a recognized institution where innovative, sustainable and reliable transition solutions are invented and designed. Our philosophy is to attract and to welcome individuals, companies or organisations who want to contribute to collective thinking on the future of agri-food systems.
For that reason we have created a Club of affiliated members who contribute to collective thinking on the future of agri-food systems.
The Chair's Affiliates Club brings together the following institutions.
The Food 2.0 Lab of Paris is an academic research lab dedicated to understanding food innovation, consumer behavior, and culinary practices through the lens of big data, genomics, and social sciences.

The Youth branch of the Slow Food Movement was created in 2008. Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization, founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract the rise of fast life and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us.
The Chair' Students will benefit from this international network bringing together young people to become the next generation of leaders who seek to live in a world where food is truly good, clean and fair for all. This partnership allows the Chair' students to get involved into events and diverse activities promoted by SFYN.
