"It's hard not to think about the ethical, cultural and environmental aspects of the food we eat and how it is produced, regulated, controlled and distributed."
Mecca Ibrahim
The General Election has resulted in a Conservative majority and shock seat losses and gains. We now know that the UK will be leaving Europe, but how and when that will be is still anyone's guess. Whatever the drama around party politics Women In the Food Industry believe that more and more people are becoming concerned or interested in the politics of food. It’s hard not to think about the ethical, cultural and environmental aspects of the food we eat and how it is produced, regulated, controlled and distributed.
Join them at the heart of one of London’s most iconic & political buildings - City Hall - for an insightful and thought provoking discussion.
Chaired by Mex Ibrahim – co-founder of Women in The Food Industry and introduced by Clara Widdison – Kitchen Social Programme Manager at Mayor’s Fund for London , the panel brings together the following women:
Angela Malik – Advisor and board member on the influential Mayor of London’s Food Board
Dr Anna Masing – Writer, academic & trends forecaster, and co-founder of AMP
Ann Storr – Food Waste Fighter, workshop creator & strategist
Laura Winningham – CEO of City Harvest London, London’s first large scale, food redistribution effort to connect surplus food with those facing hunger
Nicola Matthews – UK and Ireland Marketing Manager of Tony’s Chocolonely – working toward 100% slave-free chocolate
Victoria Stewart – Freelance journalist, Founder of Hospitality Speaks & Head of Insight of Belazu
