Will the ways we produce and distribute our food in Devon continue into the future?  Food is a critical issue for Devon's economy and environment.  Yet at the same time, food poverty is a growing reality for some local people.  The growth in Food Banks in the county reflects this reality, with more food boxes being requested by families.

Speakers and well known authors Colin Tudge and Ruth West will be talking about how our agricultural systems will need to change with the effects of high energy prices and declining natural resources. They are expected to highlight the importance of more local growing for local people, and to encourage more diversity of thinking about farming. Professor Tim Gorringe will also be sharing some reflections on theology and food, including a need to re-assess how we value eating in a grossly consumerist society.
