💷 Are you a UK based non-academic #agrifood stakeholder? Why not start the New Year with <£5k from our Stakeholder FlexFund? Our final round is now open, and will close on 1 February 2025. Find out more and apply 👉 tinyurl.com/35nz4bbf The fund is open to members of the AFN Network+ and is for any UK-based activity that explores, develops and trials solutions to reduce and sequester greenhouse gas emissions through agri-food. This could be at any point: from primary production (agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture) and food processing (food and drink manufacture) to food retail, consumption, and waste management. All activities should be based on knowledge exchange and engagement. Activities are member-devised and led and should contribute to identifying and shaping the research, innovation and policy development required to deliver a net zero agri-food system for the UK. Activities funded could include (but are not limited to): events and workshops; discussion panels and roundtables; podcasts; arts/theatre; street activism; farm-led field trials; digital or technology based activities; toolkits and guides

This is such a cool, thought-provoking, intelligent (and, yes, sometimes grim) collection of ideas. Academics talk a lot about “outreach” but it’s hard to see good cross-disciplinary discussion that goes beyond academia. Food system questions deserve that. In fact, they require it. This year made me think about power in food systems more than ever, and I’m afraid that issues of sustainability, violence, animal welfare, and resources will be even more urgent in 2025. I’m honored to be part of this project TABLE

Who holds power in the food system? Over the course of our working theme on power in the food system, we heard many definitions and opinions of what power is, and how it influences the food we eat. We've boiled down our findings into a new summary. Check out this new report on power here: https://lnkd.in/gpXYZmKQ
