Feeding the Earth - seminars

 Climate change, population growth and movement, cost of living pressures, animal welfare, seed monopolies, supply chain shortages, consumption and health… the list of challenges around food seems endless. Yet there is much thoughtful and positive work taking place to improve the health and sustainability of our food systems worldwide.

In this four-part seminar series, an international platform of researchers will speak on their work in this area from a range of perspectives that ‘use research to do good for all’.

The seminars take place on Fridays, from 12:00-14:00 BST.

Presented in partnership with All of Life Redeemed.

The full series: 20/05 | 27/05 | 03/06 | 10/06
