How to save the planet & our health through food - Henry Dimbleby

Henry Dimbleby, author of the UK government's National Food Strategy, has written a book – 'Ravenous - how to get ourselves and our planet into shape'. This is Henry's no-holds-barred take on what we need to do to save the planet and our health through food. Henry discussed this with Professor Neil Ward, co-lead of the AFN Network+ and professor at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change at UEA.

This is the latest in our series of AFN Network+ webinars with high quality speakers at the top of their game. Each webinar will explore the topic of how to create a more sustainable, low-emission, UK agri-food system from a variety of perspectives.

Henry covers:

• The politics and sensitivities of 'nanny state' intervention
• What he's learnt from citizen assemblies, on how people feel about government intervention in what they eat
• Dietary change - policy levers and the need for systemic change
• Agricultural policy - how farmers need to be asked to do more, but supported more too
