You are invited to the 4th Future of Food Symposium event: Examining the role of food as a vehicle for societal change.
The Symposium focuses on the food insecure position of households across the UK and the organisations supporting them. From food provisioning services, to the capturing and distribution of surpluses, to the guidance and help offered to improve food knowledge and nutrition, and the work of those offering alternative means of producing and accessing food, this event provides a space to share, reflect and progress in moving towards a more sustainable food system for all.
This event recognises that food is an important medium through which the life prospects of the most vulnerable groups in society can be furthered. Organisations at the centre of critical work are not only alleviating food insecurity but providing training and social experiences as well as encouraging and showcasing more sustainable community food practices.
We invite practitioners, policy makers, community leaders, organisations and funders tackling food poverty, as well as researchers working in this field to join us.

Jordon Lazell (Essex Business School, University of Essex)
Marsha Smith and David Bek (Centre for Business in Society, Coventry University)
Lopa Saxena and Professor Moya Kneafsey (Centre for Agro-ecology, Water and Resilience, Coventry University)
