About us
TABLE seeks to facilitate informed discussions about how the food system can become sustainable, resilient, just, and ultimately “good”. We impartially set out the evidence, assumptions, and values that people bring to food system debates. Scientific knowledge is necessary for understanding the issues and complexities around healthy and sustainable food. But science alone cannot tell us how to act or what a good and ethical food system is. Making decisions about the food system involves value judgements about what is important and these depend on people’s preferences and visions for the future. Therefore, we aim to engage with a wide range of stakeholders and perspectives to bring out value-based reflections and to clarify the arguments, assumptions and evidence around issues of concern. Table is rooted in academia. We are a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Wageningen University and Research (WUR). Table is the successor to the Food Climate Research Network, based at the University of Oxford, which for 15 years conducted, synthesised, and communicated research on food sustainability.

TABLE reposted this
I write about food, health, international organizations, and animals | Assistant Prof at University of Amsterdam
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
