Following on from an article in the conversation published in the UK and then in France, Dr Sean Beer was invited to join the Durham Community Good Food Network to present his ideas relating to “Climate Friendly Diets.” The group is a very diverse and interesting collection of people, representing a variety of organisations, undertaking some fantastic work.
Sean’s presentation was entitled “Be careful what you wish for or a world of unintended consequences” and focused on some of the challenges we face in trying to make our food supply chains truly more sustainable. Also presenting at the meeting was Emma Mould from Food Newcastle. Subsequent discussion was wide-ranging. In many situations the primary problem, above and beyond ideas of sustainability, is trying to ensure that basic foodstuffs are available to everyone at a reasonable price.
