The challenges of climate change, resource depletion, population growth and diet-related ill health are set to be among the over-arching issues at the Soil Association annual conference.
Meeting UK government agreed greenhouse gas reduction targets of 80 per cent by 2050 will also be discussed at the event at The Custard Factory in Birmingham, on February 3-4.
The two-day conference presents a series of challenging debates about the role of science, politics, farming and food sectors and their respective roles in the action, innovation and transition to sustainable models that is needed if we are to feed ourselves now and in the future.
Among the speakers are shadow DEFRA secretary Nick Herbert, Food for Life Partnership Policy Adviser Jeanette Orrey and Graham Harvey - author of ‘The Carbon Fields’ and agricultural advisor to The Archers.
