Next event: Food and the Environment
Join us on Tuesday 30th May, when Professor Tim Benton will give a talk on 'Food and the Environment: How what we eat impacts on the planet'. His particular interest is currently on a) food system resilience in the face of climate change, and b) on how to manage land to deliver all we ask from it, sustainably.
The Scottish Food Coalition believes there is an opportunity with the Good Food Nation Bill to develop a world-leading national food policy. Bringing coherence to food policy is a challenging task, in order to make the most of experience and expertise from across the globe, we are organising a series of events at the Scottish Parliament and the University of Edinburgh.
These events are designed to give politicians and civil servants an opportunity to hear about transformative food policies in other countries, first-hand from those involved. The parallel events at the University of Edinburgh will ensure civil society too can benefit from the knowledge and experience of these speakers and participate in discussions around the development of the Good Food Nation Bill.
Please note the dates listed are for the evening Parliamentary events, the seminars may well be the following day. Sign up to the Scottish Food Coalition updates list, or check back at this page later for further details.
