Food as Commons: Building just and sustainable community food systems

Join UCL Institute for Global Prosperity for this panel discussion.

During lockdown we saw how disparate communities were brought together by mutual aid, and especially emergency food provision.

To think about how we can use this momentum to create more just community food systems for Londoners, we will bring together a community organiser from a food justice group, a policymaker from a London council experimenting with novel approaches to access to food, and a researcher proposing novel solutions for food and climate sustainability. They will discuss how to achieve equitable access to nutritious meals and the role that food can play in bringing together people from a range of backgrounds.

This online lunchtime discussion will be informative but informal. Participants will be asked to share what they are eating for lunch while taking part and the event will be accompanied by specially made visuals by the artist Johann Arens.
