Event Information:
As an "accidental" food theorist, with both a science and social science background, I sometimes find myself struggling to understand a paradigmatic split within agricultural thought. On one side, technological advance has allowed us to cheaply and easily feed more people than ever before, but at a cost. The industrial food system is vulnerable, due to its reliance on cheap labour and its long supply chains.
