Justice as Catalyst for Food Systems Transformation Workshop

Food systems transformation is technically feasible – so why isn’t it happening? The EAT-Lancet 2025 report positions justice not just as a desirable outcome, but as the essential mechanism that makes transformation possible. Without addressing power imbalances and structural inequalities, transformation won’t happen.

Building on the AFN Network+ Roadmap for Resilience: A UK food plan for 2050, this workshop will develop a Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) framework for considering farming, land use change and healthy eating. We will also identify better ways of embedding marginalised voices in decision-making and design future activities accordingly. Participants interested in joining a steering board to guide this process will have an opportunity to learn more.

Please register your interest and we will confirm attendance. Travel funding is available for those without alternative sources – please indicate if needed, with your reason and estimated cost.

Please also let us know of any access or dietary requirements (lunch provided by the venue’s vegetarian cafe).
