Inspiring a food system transformation – what can we learn from WW2?

We need radical and transformational change in our food system. However, the scale of the change can sometimes feel overwhelming and paralysing – but we also tend to forget that we’ve done it before, including in living memory, during and after World War 2.

While it might seem daunting, a sense of agency and ambition can be derived from studying past transitions: In this webinar, Prof Neil Ward explores the characteristics of the last agri-food revolution and asks what can be learnt and applied to our current juncture.
