Do join what should be an interesting discussion about how to scale up local food systems. #foodsecurity #climatcrisis
For those of you involved in the food, growing, and health & well-being sectors, or have an interest in strengthening local communities, you might sometimes wonder: Is it actually possible to design a functional and scalable local food economy in the UK? Is it possible to encourage all citizens, including those from less advantaged households, to enjoy healthy and locally-grown or produced food, affordably? To regenerate our land and our local communities as well as our bodies? If you'd like to hear potential answers to these questions, then you're welcome to attend and contribute to an upcoming panel discussion I'll be chairing on Tues 23rd April, with a panel of experts - touching on food, farming, economics, supply chains, policy, and history: https://lnkd.in/exc4ixeS See you then and have a great weekend! #food #healthyfood #foodaccess #foodjustice #health #nutrition #regenerativefarming #organic #localcurrency #local #community #policy #economics #regeneration Henry Leveson-Gower FRSA Clarke Willis MBE Michael Weatherburn PhD Lynne Davis Six Inches of Soil Deirdre (Dee) Woods Sarah Langford Olivia Shave Jenny Jefferies Colin Ramsay Claire Mackenzie Mel Bradley MBE Antony Yousefian Ryan Cameron Cameron Davies Henry Dimbleby Mike Berners-Lee

My first word for our latest issue on facing up to the increasing instability of our climate and its economic impacts. #climatecrisis #doomster https://lnkd.in/evgvQ7-d
