Liverpool's Food Culture - have we got one?

Deepening the outcomes from our Sustainable Liverpool seminar series in 2024, we want to focus on the vital area of food sustainability in our 3 seminars in 2025. We are thrilled that the series will be opened by one of the UK's foremost experts in food, SHEILA DILLON journalist, broadcaster and presenter of BBC Radio 4 The Food Programme. The dates are October 2nd, 16th, 30th - all Thursday evenings from 6.00pm to 7.30pm.

Our 2025 seminar series on food sustainability starts on Thursday 2nd October and runs every two weeks on Thursdays 16th and 30th October. The title of the series is Liverpool’s Food Culture – have we got one? And each seminar has a different theme:

SEMINAR ONE: The Food System in the UK – how good is it?

With local food producers, and a keynote from Sheila Dillon, BBC Radio 4 presenter The Food Programme and BBC Food and Farming Awards.

SEMINAR TWO: Farm to Fork – is our food journey sustainable?

With local food producers, and a keynote from Chris Walsh and Helen Woodcock of Kindling Farm, Prescot L35

Each seminar will invite 3 exemplar local organisations to showcase their produce or their work. There will also be a food taster at each seminar. The series is focused on residents of the city centre and waterfront who are our demographic, but they are open to anyone, especially local councillors, stakeholders and decision-makers in the city and region.
