About the Global Alliance for the Future of Food

The Global Alliance for the Future of Food is a strategic alliance of philanthropic foundations working together and with others to transform global food systems now and for future generations.

About TABLE

TABLE is a collaboration between the University of Oxford, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and Wageningen University and Research (WUR) that seeks to foster and facilitate informed discussions about how the food system can become sustainable, resilient, just, and ultimately “good”. Our premise is that while science is necessary in understanding the issues and complexities around healthy and sustainable food, it alone cannot tell us what to do or what a good and ethical food system is. Our aim is to engage with a wide range of stakeholders and perspectives and to clarify the arguments, assumptions and evidence around issues that stakeholders feel to be of most concern.
