Launched in January 2025, our Lunchtime Conversations are interdisciplinary exchanges designed to inspire new thinking about global food security and food system resilience.
Two researchers from different disciplines are invited to discuss their work and how their knowledge could be combined to find new ways to address issues of food security and system resilience. Their discussion will be followed by a Q&A with the audience.
Lunchtime Conversations take place on Thursday afternoons at 2pm, in person and on-line. For further information please mail Francesca Re Manning.
These events are open to all staff and students; you are welcome to join and contribute to the discussion, whatever your area of expertise!
