About this Event
Food and Climate at Local Level: From Mapping to Policy
This event, co-sponsored by the Food Foundation and Climate:Change, the independent think-tank in Brighton and Hove, will explore how the carbon footprint of the food system can be mapped at town and City level in the UK, and how mapping can be used to improve policy. The London footprint has been mapped, by Circle Economy for Re-London. How can that piece of work be improved and used? And how can the effort be downscaled for use in other places. Building on conversations already held in Brighton and Hove, and no doubt also taking place elsewhere, this workshop will bring together food footprint and food policy specialists from around the UK. Places are limited and must be booked in advance. There will be an informal reception after the workshop.
The speakers will be:
Kristin Strandberg, Cities Lead, Circle Economy
Hamish Forbes, Senior Analyst, WRAP
Leon Ballin, Place-Based Food Systems Manager, Food Foundation
James Joughin, Food lead, Climate:Change
The event will be chaired by Simon Maxwell, Co-Chair, Climate:Change
