Join us for Nature, Farming & Food, our symposium in collaboration with TABLE & the British Ecological Society

Evidence and data about what we eat, where and how it’s grown are some of the most contested scientific debates in the public sphere. All along the food chain, ecological and environmental data about farming are produced by different actors at different scales. How do we ensure scientists, farmers, policymakers and the public are making decisions based on the best possible information?
This symposium will tackle the debates and their politics head-on. It will ask how claims made about the impact of food on land and ecosystems differ when voiced by farmers, corporations or ecologists, and ask how we can work together to create the best evidence.
The event will present an opportunity for a diverse range of delegates to present their research and/or practice on what we eat and how we produce it, with a focus on the potential and the pitfalls for how ecological information about food systems is designed, produced and communicated in different ways.
With the goal of solutions-oriented approaches to food systems transformation in the UK and across the world, this symposium will also address the realities of working in partnership in science, policy and practice.
The opportunity to submit abstracts for presentations (talks and posters) has now opened (closes March 26th). We are keen to have a diverse range of delegates to present their research and/or practice on what we eat and how we produce it, with a focus on the potential and the pitfalls for how ecological information about food systems is designed, produced and communicated in different ways.
