Deepen the Conversation - Food Chain

Finished

Bookings & Enquiries:

This event has now passed

From backyard gardens and family traditions, to feeding the hungry and global food production, Griffith REVIEW's Food Chain explores the many facets of our complex relationship with the food we eat.

We are what we eat and in an era of climate change, food is the canary in the mine. Prices are rising, droughts and storms are affecting farmers, and the global model of food production is under challenge.

Food Chain features many of the best thinkers about sustainability, agriculture and the cultural importance of food. It ranges from farm gate to supermarket shelf, from the factory to the fridge, nationally and internationally with a detour into the kitchens of celebrity chefs.

Join a number of Food Chains authors as they share their thoughts on the fare that sustains us. From personal accounts to insights into the political systems that support food production and distribution, the Food Chain panel is sure to stimulate thought about our consumption practices.

Featuring Brendan Gleeson (Professor of Urban Management and Planning and Director of the Urban Research Program at Griffith University); Virginia Balfour (Journalist); Tony Fry (Adjunct Professor, Design Futures Program, Queensland College of Art); Julianne Schultz (founding editor of Griffith REVIEW professor in the Centre for Public Culture and Ideas at Griffith University.)
