Power in the food system – how to shift it for citizens, farmers and nature

A joint AFN Network+ and Food, Farming and Countryside Commission webinar.

Citizens are frustrated with the extreme imbalance of power and profit in the food system, and want political leaders to bring radical change. That was one of the conclusions from the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission (FFCC)’s engagement with citizens up and down the UK as part of #TheFoodConversation.

Who holds the power in the food system and who is profiting? What is the impact of this inequality and corporate control on farmers and growers, our health, nature, and ability to tackle climate change? What can be done about it? In this joint webinar with the FFCC, our speakers share insights from their latest research, which the organisation undertook following concerns raised by citizens in #TheFoodConversation – and explain why questions of power and profit need to rise up the political agenda.
