Hi, I’m one of the founding members of VENN Canteen, a vegan restaurant and community space in Porto reimagining how food, people, and the planet connect.
At VENN, we:
- Partner with innovative regenerative farms and local producers to curate transparent, seasonal menus.
- Host creative, educational, and cultural events that bring together artists, scientists, and local changemakers.
Current project — PATIO (Platform for Agroecology, Technology, Inclusion & Observation):
- Transforming our restaurant’s patio into a living biodiversity and circular economy space.
- Supported by EU funding (ST3ER program, Sept 2025) for our digital transparency platform.
- Developing EAT.BITZ, an open-source system with:
- sensors for ecological monitoring
- Storytelling tools for food provenance
- Micro-dashboards & APIs for open data, research, and education
Looking ahead: (I am based in Berlin)
- Recently introduced to Doughnut Economics and eager to learn from this community.
- Excited to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas on how circular food systems and digital innovation can bring the Doughnut principles to life.
