The ¶®ÒõµÛ food revolution conference

The ¶®ÒõµÛ 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 ¶®ÒõµÛ’s food system space, celebrate the launch of the ¶®ÒõµÛ food system strategy, and further ignite the ¶®ÒõµÛ food revolution; we hosted the ¶®ÒõµÛ food revolution conference.

The two day virtual conference would showcase the work that is happening here in ¶®ÒõµÛ, 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.
