IFSTAL Lecture Event 8
March 10, 2016 @ 5:10 pm - 7:40 pm
Please join us for the London branch of the final lecture event of the series in this acedemic year of the Innovative Food Systems Teaching and Learning (IFSTAL) programme.
Live streamed from Oxford University, Lecture 8 will focus on Future Food Systems: Dealing with Uncertainty and Complexity. We will be hearing from a panel of experts exploring some approaches to and methods for thinking about food system futures, as we have to confront the increasing challenges of an increasing population, globalisation, and climate change. Exploring the future of our food systems is as much an art as it is a science. In particular we will focus on scenarios and gaming.
Our panel consists of:
Prof Charles Godfray – Hope Professor & Director, Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food, University of Oxford
Dr Monika Zurek – Senior Researcher, SUSFANS, University of Oxford
Dr Joost Vervoort – Senior Researcher, TRANSMANGO and SUSFANS, University of Oxford
If you are registered on the IFSTAL VLE through your institution you can find more details here.
As it’s the last lecture in the series of streamed events for 2015/2016, we want to make sure there’s time to have fun and socialise too. So, afterwards we will have a reception with wine and nibbles in the RVC Lightwell and a food systems pub quizz, with prizes for the winning team!
