Edith Salminen, Finland

Edith Salminen

Food Culture Strategist at UNA and Co-Founder of Malmö Food Council

Rooted in an innate love for food, Edith’s broad mix of experiences and educations around food have ushered her to seek out an understanding of the complexity of food systems, and the connection between people, food and society. With a background in socialantropology of food and gastronomic sciences, Edith works as a Food Culture Strategist and runs her own company UNA to foster sustainable food systems, particularly on local level. Whether it is organizing community workshops, giving educational talks or working on cross-sectoral projects, Edith’s core competence lies in her holistic approach to food and in her ideas about how food can be used as a social tool to drive societal and behavioral change. She is an insatiable food geek who is always looking for new ways to make the world a little bit better.
