We are what we eat – and in an era of climate change, food is the canary in the mine. Prices are rising, droughts and storms are affecting farmers, and the global model of food production is under challenge. Journey from farm gate to supermarket shelf, from the factory to the fridge as a panel of leading thinkers share their thoughts on the fare that sustains us. From personal accounts to insights into the political systems that support food production and distribution, the Food Chain panel is sure to stimulate thought about our consumption practices.
