Over an early dinner participants discussed whether the way we frame approaches to food system challenges can make a difference to the outcomes we see.
We are very grateful to our guest speaker, Dr Tara Garnett from the Food & Climate Research Network, Environmental Change Institute, Oxford University Centre for the Environment, who outlined three different ‘world views’ on the food sustainability challenge.
Participants discussed whether, while there is unlikely to be full convergence between these different views, better mutual understanding of others’ perspectives can help reduce misunderstanding and open up dialogue so that policy makers can gain better insights into food sustainability challenges.
