Highlights
The UK’s food system is currently optimised for efficiency rather than resilience, relying heavily on imports, seasonal labour, and just-in-time supply chains. This makes it particularly susceptible to disruptions that could lead to a collapse. Dr Karen Rial-Lovera, Associate Professor in Agriculture at the RAU, is co-leading a project which aims to identify ways of mitigating the potential tipping points that could lead to a collapse and prioritise the areas within the UK food system that urgently need to strengthen their resilience to likely risks and shocks.
Join us at September’s Croissants and Questions to hear more about the project and how it will build on stakeholders’ knowledge to deliver a transformation towards resilience.
