OxTalks is Changing
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
Alternative proteins: progress, pitfalls and possibilities
In this talk, Oxford Martin School Visiting Fellow Cleo Verkuijl will present key insights from a 2023 UNEP assessment on the environmental, health, social, and animal welfare implications of alternative proteins, which she co-led alongside former IPCC and IPBES Chair, Bob Watson. The talk will also examine the technical, social, and political hurdles facing the alternative protein transition – including questions of equity and justice – and consider the opportunities for scaling alternative proteins in ways that support sustainable, healthy, and inclusive food systems.
