Making food fair

Can we balance food access with sustainability?

A free, public event discussing what are often seen as conflicting issues in the food system. How do we balance the need for affordable food locally with:

             the health, environmental and welfare costs of the conventional food system?

When: 9 February 2011, 5.30-7.30pm

Where: Manchester Town Hall

Speakers

             Kath Dalmeny, policy director, Sustain

             Monty Don, BBC presenter

             Tim Lang, professor of food policy
