The Food Conversation is a much-needed opportunity for citizens to talk about what they really want from food.
Food is at the centre of some of the biggest challenges we face. Headlines about food security, diet-related ill health, the impact on nature and climate of food production, food bank usage (and more) dominate the media and are part of our daily discourse. Yet, governments have struggled to grasp the nettle on food system policies. Attempts to change anything about the way food works have floundered as policymakers have disagreed about what people want from food.
The Food Conversation aims to change this and provide a well-evidenced view of what citizens really think about food – exploring how citizens understand the complexities of the issue and the necessity for trade-offs.
You can be part of this conversation. Incredible Edible Loughborough, Circular Agriculture Hub, and Charnwood Forest Geopark are jointly presenting events in and around Charnwood Forest over the coming weeks and it would be great if you could join us at one of them to have your say – it’s a subject we all have experience of.
The attached poster detail the dates, times, and venues for the events. Attendance is free but places need to be booked using the QR code or email address provided – there are still some places available at both September events so please share the details around your networks.
