30 June 2021: From Food Poverty to Food Sovereignty
In this online half-day workshop, we want to bring together local food producers, activists for food justice, academics from different disciplines, and artists to reflect on a set of core questions that can inform future directions in research, policy, and practice. Our artists in residence, Zev Robinson and Trasi Henan, curator Tommaso Ranfagni, and representatives from The Wash House Garden, The Landworkers Alliance, Glasgow Community Food Network, and Propagate will come together with academics in the university to discuss:
Session One: What is food poverty and how should it be defined?
Session Two: How can we address food poverty in the UK, and what needs to change in the UK food system to eradicate food poverty? Which of the following frameworks (if any) should be used to drive forwards a national campaign to reform the UK food system: Food Security; the Right to Adequate Food; Food Sovereignty; Food Justice?
