Festival focus day: The Future of Food

Saturday 14 June 2014, Ron Cooke Hub, University of York

What are the best business models to feed 10 billion - less meat, local versus global? How do we ensure that we have enough land and natural resources to produce enough food? How do we ensure that food production and businesses create the best affordable but healthily outcomes for citizens?
