Location: OC1.01, The Oculus

This annual IFSTAL lecture will be live streamed to Warwick from SOAS, London. This year we have Prof Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy @ City, University London discussing 'Sustainable Diets for all: academic pie-in-the-sky or ecological public health inevitability'

Abstract: In this lecture, Tim Lang will consider whether the evidence for re-calibrating what we mean by a good diet and good food is an example of how there can be a yawning gap between what science suggests ought to be the case, and what the food system and people's eating habits can deliver. Or is reality slowly but inexorably forcing changes into the food system, whether consumers like it or not? The lecture will review current state of thinking, evidence and policy realities on this pressing issue. It will suggest that sustainable diets is fast becoming a test case for whether the world's policy-makers take a food systems approach seriously. You will have an opportunity for Q&A and networking.
