Food for Health not Wealth

A conference for those who want to broaden their understanding of the food agenda and how we can build sustainable & inclusive food networks.

Thursday 27th January 2022
10am – 12noon
Online, via Zoom

The food crisis didn’t start with COVID-19, it started long before:

when we stopped shopping locally
when we didn’t think about where our food came from
when we started eating out as much as eating in
when we started buying from chain restaurants and stopped cooking from scratch
when food was lost from the curriculum as ‘domestic science’ and came back under the ‘technology’ umbrella
when foodbanks replaced affordable food
when we put profit before health
when we started buying products not ingredients
when we started eating carbage and mistook it for food
when we allowed food to go to waste when people were going hungry.

Food for Health not Wealth will explore why we must act NOW, or risk a landslide of poor health and health-related issues.

Our talks and speakers will be:

Food for Britain – Andrew Forsey, Director of Feeding Britain
Food Waste – Gareth Batty, CEO of FareShare Yorkshire
Food Savings – Tess Wilkins, Coordinator of FoodSavers
Food Strategy – Kristen Bash, Public Health Consultant (office of Health Improvement and Disparities)
