Roundtable Discussion, 22 May


The
Science of Food Production in the City

Food and future cities — growing food where the people live: what, why and how

Moderated panel discussion with public Q&A session.

Food production meets all of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals; accordingly, it also touches on all of Urban Future’s thematic areas. Why then is food production so often left out of city planning? This roundtable discussion will cover the importance of placing food at the centre of city planning, and the best ways to go about doing so. Hear unique industry perspectives on what is working and what needs to change, and then take the opportunity to ask questions in a 20-minute public Q&A session.
