Putting Money on the Menu: How can investors transform the UK food system?

We're delighted to announce The Food Foundation is hosting the first UK investor conference dedicated to food systems.

With the UK food system in crisis, the invitation-only event will bring together analysts, policy makers and members of the Investor Coalition on UK Food Policy to discuss the central role the investment community must play in driving systemic transformation towards a healthy, sustainable and equitable food future.

Participants can also find out how they can support the transformation of our food systems for the wellbeing of the population and ensure the Government achieves its Net Zero commitment.
