Saturday, 13th March 2010 @ 9:30am
A day conference organised by Southampton Fair Trade Group
9:30am Registration, 10:15am - 4:15pm, Saturday 13th March
What is Just Food?
The conference will explore links between the fair trade and local food movements, problems within the conventional food industry, and discuss the possibilities of developing an ethical, healthy and sustainable world food system that provides people with a decent living in stable communities.
Speakers include Kath Dalmeny, policy director at Sustain and Sue Branford from GRAIN.
Workshops will feature sustainable eating cookery demonstrations, Claire Plumb's "Food for Thought"--a hands-on look at the global trade of food and how it affects communities, and a look at ethical shopping dilemmas faced by supermarkets and consumers.
Stalls, both selling ethical food and with information about food issues, will be available during tea breaks and at lunch.
