Introducing 'One Planet Food' - a Falkland Centre for Stewardship initiative that aims to make our food system more sustainable and equitable.

Food accounts for some 25% of our greenhouse gas emissions, so it will be impossible to reduce our country's carbon footprint without big changes in what we eat, and how we grow, market, process, package, preserve and distribute food.

The vision is a revitalised food culture, better animal welfare, a more diverse environment and a thriving local food economy.

But changing our food system is more complex than generating more power from renewables or improving public transport, and requires an imaginative partnership between producers, consumers, caterers, retailers, communities, researchers and government.

The Winter Warmers lecture series supports the One Planet food project by bringing together some the country's foremost food and policy experts to discuss some of these complex issues and their ideas about how we can make an impact today.

The first lecture entitled Winter Warmers - Organic Food and Climate Change kicks off on 27 Nov 08 at The Stables Workshop, Falkland Estate, price: £5 waged, £3 concession/unwaged. Bookings required.
