Join us for a thought-provoking morning exploring the future of sustainable food systems with Prof Alex Colas and Dr Izabela Delabre. In this webinar, we'll discuss the impacts of current food systems on the planet and the ways in which people are affected by today's food production and consumption practices. We'll highlight some of the main debates in food system politics that give rise to injustice and unsustainability, and — drawing on examples of exciting projects from across the globe — consider what sustainable and just food systems might look like.
