- Webinars, workshops and networking meetings
- Our annual two day Big Tent event
- An annual facilitated Crucible workshop for people interested in applying for scoping study grants. Participants develop project ideas, meet collaborators, work on proposals and receive grant-writing coaching.
Our events offer participants the chance to engage with researchers and food system stakeholders working for change in the agri-food system. Our webinars are all recorded and can be found in the resources section of the website.
