Advertiser's description (via Norwich Institute for Sustainable Development)

We are living in a crowded, complex time of global challenges – climate change and environmental degradation, mounting social upheaval and inequities, and increasing public health and food insecurity risks. Food systems sit at the center of these challenges and are considered part of the problem, but can also be a solution.

At a time when facts, evidence, and data are under ever greater scrutiny and even openly disregarded as suspect by some political and business leaders, the rigors of science and evidence must be maintained. Data and research can bring about wholesale changes in attitudes, political thought, and action and have a vital role in charting a positive and sustainable direction for positive food system transformation.

Join Professor Jess Fanzo online or in-person to discuss how evidence and data can help navigate decision-makers out of the dark and shed light on how to improve food systems. She will highlight the larger collaborations her team has initiated, including the Food Systems Dashboard and the Food Systems Countdown to 2030 Initiative.  Hosted by the Norwich Institute for Sustainable Development and the Quadram Institute.
