As the climate changes and food production becomes more reliant on techno-solutions, our eating habits and culinary culture changes too.
Join Tiffany Mak - research scientist on Microbial Ecology and the Food System - Dr. Rhys Williams - lecturer in Energy and Environmental Humanities at the University of Glasgow - and Sean Wai Keung - Glasgow-based food poet and writer - as they look at the ways food infrastructure and production impact our health and culture.
We’ll also be discussing how the rich variety of culinary cultures and farming methods around the world could provide alternatives to techno-industrial farming methods, and how shifting populations adapt their eating cultures to resource availability.
Refreshments and a networking session are included.
Following the talk, Sean Wai Keung will lead an interactive workshop exploring creative food-writing, community, and cooking. If interested, please register separately.
