Academic/Research Enquiries

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Building Better Food Systems Conference

The environmental, social and economic benefits of local and short supply chains are well recognised, but currently only supply a fraction of food produced and consumed in the UK. This needs to change.

Calling food producers, processors, distributors, academics, policy-makers and food justice activists! Join us at the ‘Building Better Food Systems’ conference and be part of the movement for resilient short supply chains.

 

About

This free two-day conference brings together food and farming businesses, policy makers, researchers, and social justice movements to look at how to realise the full potential of local and resilient food systems.

During the course of the conference, together we will identify opportunities and challenges, and develop action plans to address them.

Day One:

The first day of the conference consists of workshops organised into 3 topic strands: Collaboration Models, Policy & Regulation, and Food Justice.

Each strand contains 4 workshops, running in tandem with each other throughout the day. Workshops will broadly consist of 3-4 panellists in an open discussion format and plenty of room for attendee participation.

All in-person workshops during day one will be streamed to allow online participation.

Day Two:

The second day of the conference will focus on outcome-driven strategic planning. This day encourages attendee participation and will be more collaborative, rather than a panellist – audience format.

A session will be facilitated on each of the three topic strands explored during day one. More detail and ways to get involved with day two to follow!

Tickets can be bought for Day One and Day Two separately, but if you’re attending in person we encourage you to come to both so you can to be part of the whole journey!

The Building Better Food Systems Conference is organised by the Landworkers’ Alliance in collaboration with Coventry University, and is funded by the COACH project.

This conference is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101000918

Please note: Day 2 will not be streamed online due to it’s collaborative workshop nature, however we will be circulating further information and strategic planning documents to online participants after the event!
