Changing our food system could, arguably, be approached with different aims and perspectives. What happens when the aim of change is net zero though? What are the win-wins from climate adaptation and mitigation? What could this mean on a practical level for farmers? But what too are the trade-offs we might need to weigh up, […]
The latest monthly update from the AFN Network+. In this month’s issue, have your say on agri-food research priorities, sign up for our Big Tent annual meeting, what are the wins and trade-offs from targeting net zero? and more.
FFCC has consulted on and researched Land Use Frameworks (MLUF) for a number of years. This report sets out how a MLUF “offers the greatest potential to maximise delivery of social, economic and environmental objectives and align resources to provide public value and create a sustainable future.”
COP28 in Dubai was hailed as historic for many reasons – but what was achieved, if anything, in terms of the food system?
Green Alliance outlines four contrasting worldviews on the way forward for food and agriculture, and imagines possible alliances that could be formed based on areas of common ground. It argues that greater alignment between proponents of alternative proteins (‘techno-vegans’) and agroecologists could be a viable path out of stasis for many countries in Europe.
Our food system accounts for around a third of all global emissions – so why has it hardly been talked about at previous COPs? The UN’s climate change conference brings together world leaders every year to try to bash out a deal to cut emissions and halt climate change.
Transforming the food system is largely an occupation pursued by middle class professionals on salaries. What will be the impact on food system transformation, if the voices of people with living experience of poverty, food insecurity and inequality, are not included in a more meaningful way? Dominic Watters digs into all of this for us in this thought provoking webinar. As a single dad living in poverty and food and fuel insecurity, Dominic’s ability to tell it like it is and connect the dots on poverty, has made him an increasingly sought after voice on these issues.

‘Business-as-usual’ is dead. The world order – economically, politically, environmentally and socially – is being turned on its head and redrawn. Why then, when thinking about transforming our food system, do we tend to assume the world will just trundle on as it has before, leaving the UK free to carefully redesign its domestic production, […]
Why are food and farming hardly talked about at COP? Could this be about to change? If so, how? What or what is holding us back from food system transformation?
This rough guide is designed to demonstrate why a Multifunctional Land Use Framework could bring benefits for people making decisions about land use, and how it could be implemented. Find the FFCC’s report on multifunctional land use in our reports library.
