Talks

Carolyn Steel
“Food already shapes our world – so why not use it as a tool to shape a better one?” Carolyn Steel is a leading thinker on food and cities. She is a London-based architect, lecturer, BBC presenter and TEDGlobal speaker who coined ‘Sitopia’ – now a widely-recognised way of seeing the world through the lens of food. Carolyn has spoken with governments, institutes, and schools all over the world, explaining how we can make a revolutionary change simply by understanding and valuing our food, and how by looking through the lens of food we can practically design a better future.

TRISTRAM STUART
Tristram Stuart is an international award-winning author, speaker, campaigner and expert on the environmental and social impacts of food . His books have been described as “a genuinely revelatory contribution to the history of human ideas” (The Times) and his TED talk has been watched over a million times. The environmental campaigning organisation he founded, Feedback, has spread its work into dozens of countries worldwide to change society’s attitude towards wasting food.
