Increased international volatility, climate change and biodiversity loss all pose risks to the UK’s food security. Prof Tim Lang and Prof Sarah Bridle discuss what a good food system looks like, as well as the policies needed to ensure that our food system is fairer, more sustainable and more resilient.
About the speakers
Tim Lang became Emeritus Professor of Food Policy at City University London’s Centre for Food Policy in 2021. He was Professor of Food Policy at City from 2002 to 2021 and had founded the Centre in 1994 at Thames Valley University (now University of West London). For years, he’s engaged in academic and public research and debate about food policy, locally to globally. His abiding interest is how policy addresses the mixed challenge of being food for the environment, health, social justice, and citizens. His most recent report is Just in Case: 7 steps to narrow the UK civil food resilience gap.
Sarah Bridle is Professor of Food, Climate and Society at the University of York. Their work focuses on analysing the environmental impact of what we eat and creating a more resilient food system which benefits human health as well as the planet.
