Horizon Debates: Is technology a force for good in environmentally sustainable food production?
We are delighted to invite you to the first in a new three part series of Horizon Debates, hosted by Green Alliance, exploring controversial issues around the future of land, food and the environment in the UK.
At this event a panel of experts from both sides of the argument will debate the impact of novel foods and new agricultural technologies on the UK’s natural environment, their social acceptability and the ethical implications.
Panel:
•Simon Blackmore, head of robotics, Harper Adams University
•Helen Browning, chief executive, Soil Association
•Robin Grove-White, professor emeritus of Environment and Society, Lancaster University
•Alastair Cooper, organic farmer and senior investment director at ADM Capital
Chaired by Christine Tacon, the UK's groceries code adjudicator and former Managing Director of Co-operative Farms.
