OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Our food systems account for 15% of global fossil fuel use. It’s hard to imagine our food system without coal, gas, and oil, but the science tells us that we have to not only imagine it—we have to build it. But how?
A recent podcast series collaboration between TABLE, IPES-Food, and the Global Alliance for the Future of Food explores this transition. In “Fuel to Fork”, host Matthew Kessler interviews experts in food systems about the challenges they see at different levels of the food supply chain and what visions they have for a more sustainable future.
We’ll be exploring the policy side of this with an online panel discussion on the critical intersection of fossil fuels and food systems, exploring the policy implications and pathways for reducing fossil fuel dependence throughout the food value chain. This includes everything from farm inputs and energy use on farms to processing, packaging, transportation, and retail. The session will highlight the urgent need for policy changes to address both climate goals and food security.
Moderator: Jack Thompson (Freelance Journalist)
Panel:
Errol Schweizer (Grocery Expert, IPES-Food)
Ruchi Tripathi (Climate & Nature Director, Global Alliance for the Future of Food)
Lili Fuhr (Deputy Director of Climate & Energy, Center for International Environmental Law)
