This year instead of holding a one-day annual conference in London, the CSaP (Centre for Science and Policy) will be delivering a series of virtual seminars in May and June on topics that and thier network have worked on over the past year. Invited experts will offer insights into some of the latest research that has the potential to inform decisions taken by policy makers.
The first virtual seminar in this series will be on the topic of food strategy with expert speakers from the University of Cambridge.
"In this seminar, we’ll take a systems approach to exploring the economic, consumer, animal welfare, and health implications of our food. We’ll discuss the role of the Food Standards Agency, how the government can model and promote health and sustainable food options, how covid-19 has illuminated issues of food security, and what the next steps for supporting high quality, sustainable, and nutritious foods might be"
