Changing our fatally flawed food system by Tim Lang

In this talk, Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University, London, briefly shares his personal journey into food policy - from psychologist to hill farmer to professor - and takes us through the reasons why he believes the current food system is fatally flawed, tracing the history of these. He reviews the key problems, the need for a complete change of mind set to tackle these away from a productionist approach with its successes and subsequent problems. He outlines a new direction for food policy that builds it around sustainable development, low impact farming systems and diets and low energy usage. Running order below:
