This panel discussion brought together representatives from the advertising and food industries, from social enterprise and academia to explore advertising, food, desire and the question of ecological limits. The event was moderated by TABLE director Tara Garnett. You can now watch the recording and continue the conversation on our community platform.
Call for proposals
TABLE is issuing a call for proposals, open to anyone who is affiliated with an organisation based in Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East or Asia. We are looking for researchers and food systems practitioners who have a nuanced understanding of some of the debates about what a ‘good future’ for food looks like, and who are interested in exploring and sharing the various angles and arguments of a particular debate with a wider audience.
