Henry Dimbleby, author of the UK government commissioned National Food Strategy, has written a book – ‘Ravenous – how to get ourselves and our planet into shape’. This is Henry’s no-holds-barred take on what we need to do to save the planet and our health through food. Henry will be diving into this with Neil Ward, co-lead of the AFN Network+ and professor at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change at UEA.

Henry covers:

• The politics and sensitivities of ‘nanny state’ intervention
• What he’s learnt from citizen assemblies, on how people feel about government intervention in what they eat
• Dietary change – policy levers and the need for systemic change
• Agricultural policy – how farmers need to be asked to do more, but supported more too
