Sidmouth Climate Week > focussing on food

Last year's Climate Week looked at food:
Futures Forum: Sidmouth Climate Week >>> soil carbon sequestration >>> or: We've been treating our soil like dirt
Futures Forum: Sidmouth Climate Week: Thurs 23rd March >>> Sidmouth Trawlers, Fresh & Green, Lyme Bay Winery... and Prof Richard Betts guest speakers
Futures Forum: Sidmouth Climate Week: Thurs 23rd March >>> What are the impacts of climate change on food production locally and globally?

This year's series of events does the same - simply because it's so crucial:
Why what we eat is crucial to the climate change question | Ruth Khasaya Oniang’o | Environment | The Guardian
Climate change and food safety – complete the EFSA survey | European Food Safety Authority
Food insecurity in Africa is “very strongly related to climate change” - Climate Action Programme
Spring Might Come Earlier, but Food Shortages Will Still Happen - Futurism
New Study: Eat Your Strawberries Before Climate Change Wipes Them Out – Mother Jones

Here's some info from the Science Fest website:
Sidmouth Climate Week in 2018 | Sidmouth Science Festival

Climate Week 2018 is focussing on food production and food security. We are running two events, one on Tuesday 13th March and the other on Thursday 15th March. 

On Tuesday we are running the monthly Cafe Scientifique with a speaker from the Met Office who will talk about how Climate Change is affecting the security of our food and on Thursday we are showing a film, More Farmers, More Food, which highlights the problems of our current food production and how we can move towards a more sustainable system. 

For more information see the event details on this website.

Both of these events take place at 7.30pm in the Cellar Bar at Kennaway House, Sidmouth EX10 8NG and are free to enter but donations would be welcome.
