Organiser's description (via Nesta):

The way in which we produce food is having profound impacts on the earth’s climate, biodiversity and ecosystems. And unhealthy diets aren’t just harming the environment, they are affecting our own physical wellbeing too. How can policymakers square the competing demands of sustainability, price and nutrition?

Thomasina Miers urges us to kickstart the shift to regenerative farming by increasing the proportion of publicly procured ingredients for schools and hospitals grown through regenerative means. In conversation with Alan Rusbridger, Editor of Prospect Magazine, Thomasina joins us live on Tuesday 6 June 18:00-20:00 to dive deeper into the role of regenerative farming and its potential to improve the nation’s health while providing an effective response to climate change.

Thomasina and Alan will discuss this bold proposal alongside our expert panel who will explore opportunities and challenges, and confront hard questions.

This live event will take place online and in person (London). Registration information here.
