OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March.

The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Multi-Level Food System Seminar Series: Regional Food Systems For Improved Resilience
We in the developed world have tended to concentrate our food sources in areas with a comparative advantage for production, typically for climatic reasons. The cost of energy, post-harvest handling technology, and varietal development has made this possible. We have entered a period where increased extreme weather events and climatic shifts make this a more risky venture and provide a strong rationale for regionalized food systems to increase resilience of our food system and help insure food security. This seminar will use examples from the United States and East Africa to illustrate the notion and rationale.
The talk will be 30-45 minutes, followed by a Q&A session and then a short wine reception.
Everyone welcome.
