About Hungry for change – the power is on your plate!
We are living through unprecedented times; the pandemic, Brexit and the climate emergency have highlighted that the need for a sustainable food system is more pressing than ever.
Oxford Brookes University will be hosting a panel debate to mark Earth Day 2021 and explore this years’ theme: ‘restore our planet’. The debate will be live-streamed online and consist of a panel discussion and Q&A from the audience.
The panel will give the audience an insight into sustainable food choices and share practical tips on how we can all make a positive difference by changing what we put on our plate.
We will be joined by:
Fiona Steel, Good Food Oxford Manager

Charlie Huson, Forward Food Programme Manager, The Humane Society International
