About the event
The way we produce, transport, and consume food has more of an impact on our health, and on the health of the planet, than anything else we do. From soaring diet related illness to rapidly worsening food poverty and insecurity, to climate change and the deterioration of the natural environment, food is central to many of our greatest contemporary challenges. To tackle these challenges, we must transform our relationship with food.
But where do we start? What does a more sustainable food system look like? And, most importantly, how do we get there?
In this taster workshop, we begin to explore some of these critical questions and introduce you to some key ideas that we will cover in a new course starting in the New Year. Join us as we explore the complex journey our food takes from farm, to plate and delve into topics from the history of food to urban agriculture, to food activism and power, to food technology and innovation, and all the way to the future of food.
The course is for anyone in Brighton and Hove. No prior knowledge of food systems is required.
