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.

Festival of Learning on-tour at RNLI College Food and Drink Festival: get involved!
Are you interested in getting to know the local community, and sharing your research and expertise with others? Do you have exciting research to talk about or would you like to gain some valuable experience in public engagement?
Join us in a lead up to Festival of Learning and be part of RNLI College Food and Drink Festival on 30th April! The festival is focused on great quality food, sourced and produced here in Dorset, and supports Mayday campaign, which is a nationwide community fundraising campaign.
There is a community theme to the Festival so we’re looking for activities that may be of interest to the local community or are around community based research.
