The Sustainability Team, Cambridge University Press & Assessment and The Wolfson Sustainability and Conservation Hub invite you to a showcase of the possibilities of plant-based food at the University of Cambridge. The event is being held at Lee Hall in Wolfson College.

We welcome any attendees across the University and beyond, but different sessions may interest different stakeholders. Panel number one may be most appropriate for food service professionals from across the University and Colleges. Our networking lunch and taste test may be most relevant for Green Impact teams and those in green groups looking to share ideas. Our student panel will be of interest to anyone looking to know what opportunities there are to get involved in making our food more sustainable at the University of Cambridge.

Attendees are welcome to sign up for as many or as few sessions as they wish.

More information:

11-12pm: The event will kick-off at 11am sharp with a panel discussion looking at how our diets can be made more sustainable and how this is being done in Cambridge.
