As part of Britain Talks Climate & Nature, we asked over 7,000 British people how they view farming. Off the back of one of the worst harvests on record in England in 2025, join us as we share brand new insights.We will bring you top takeaways, including Brits’ strong recognition of the severe impacts of a warming planet on our farmers and food supply – and the desire for farmers to be protected in climate policymaking.Underpinned by the seven British segments from More in Common, the research sheds new light on what people with different values truly think and feel about farming in Britain.When: 21 January 2026 from 15:00pm to 16:00pm.We will explore:Key findings on attitudes towards farming, including its value in society, existing threats and future challenges.Current policies affecting farmers and the broader political landscape from experts in the field.Recommendations on how communicators and policymakers can meaningfully engage people on the vital role of farming in building a more sustainable future.The webinar will also include a Q&A session. With thanks to the European Climate Foundation who funded this research.

How can public food transform the food system?With Professor Kevin Morgan, chaired by Professor Neil WardIn the UK, 1 in 20 meals served is paid for by the government — in schools, hospitals, prisons, and care homes. That's an enormous amount of purchasing power, but are we using it well? The ‘public plate’ could be a powerful lever for food system transformation, connecting what we buy and serve to public health, climate goals, and local food economies. Yet too often, public food is seen as a cost to minimise rather than an investment in people and place.Professor Kevin Morgan has spent over twenty years researching how public institutions can — and do — serve good food against the odds. From Universal Free School Meals in Wales to innovative hospital catering and prison rehabilitation programmes, there's a ‘good food revolution’ underway. What can we learn from what's working? What's holding back faster progress? And how can local authorities, policymakers, and practitioners use public procurement to drive the changes we need?About Kevin: Kevin Morgan is Professor of Governance and Development at Cardiff University's School of Geography and Planning. His research focuses on food sustainability, public procurement, and how cities and regions can drive change through their purchasing power. Kevin has worked with the Welsh Government, the European Commission, and the OECD on food policy and place-based innovation. He is a member of the United Nations-sponsored School Meals Coalition, which aims to ensure every child in the world has access to a healthy meal at school by 2030. His new book, Serving the Public: The Good Food Revolution in Schools, Hospitals and Prisons, draws on over twenty years of research to show how public institutions can serve good food to deliver public health, social justice, and ecological integrity.About Neil (chair): As well as a co-lead of the AFN Network+, Neil Ward is a professor at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia (UEA), where he was deputy vice chancellor and PVC-Academic (2013-21). He has held chairs at the University of Leeds and Newcastle University, where he was director of the Centre for Rural Economy from 2004 to 2008.He has also worked for periods on secondment to the Cabinet Office and as an advisor to the Economic and Social Research Council. He is author of Net Zero, Food and Farming: Climate Change and the UK Agri-Food System (Routledge 2023). About this webinar seriesThis webinar is part of a monthly series run by AFN Network+ which explores net zero in the UK agri-food system with leading movers and shakers. Expect deep and varied insight from across the sector, including farmers, scientists, policy analysts, community leaders, retailers, politicians, businesses and health professionals.

Food systems transformation is technically feasible – so why isn't it happening? The EAT-Lancet 2025 report positions justice not just as a desirable outcome, but as the essential mechanism that makes transformation possible. Without addressing power imbalances and structural inequalities, transformation won't happen.Building on the AFN Network+ Roadmap for Resilience: A UK food plan for 2050, this workshop will develop a Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) framework for considering farming, land use change and healthy eating. We will also identify better ways of embedding marginalised voices in decision-making and design future activities accordingly. Participants interested in joining a steering board to guide this process will have an opportunity to learn more.Please register your interest and we will confirm attendance. Travel funding is available for those without alternative sources – please indicate if needed, with your reason and estimated cost.Please also let us know of any access or dietary requirements (lunch provided by the venue's vegetarian cafe).
