The ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ food revolution conference
The ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ food revolution has been building for many years as people across our city have recognised that action is needed to ensure a positive impact, and they have stepped up to the challenge.
To recognise the exceptional work taking place in ´ºÓêÖ±²¥’s food system space, celebrate the launch of the ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ food system strategy, and further ignite the ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ food revolution; we hosted the ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ food revolution conference.
The two day virtual conference would showcase the work that is happening here in ´ºÓêÖ±²¥, across the UK, and around the globe in achieving our vision of creating a fair, sustainable and prosperous food system and economy, where food options are nutritious, affordable and desirable so everyone can thrive.
