Henry Dimbleby | Ravenous – Online
Sat 6 May - Mon 29 May 2023
Recorded at the Spring Festival 2023
Henry Dimbleby knows how to think big about one thing we all have in common: food, and the need to eat.
Henry is the co-founder of LEON, and the Director of The Sustainable Restaurant Association. In 2013, he co-authored The School Food Plan, which set out actions to transform school meals and food education in schools, and his work with DEFRA culminated in the National Food Strategy policy proposal.
Having been pulled into the pandemic task force that looked at supply chains and kept food on the shelves at our most crucial hour, Henry’s latest book Ravenous is a manifesto and action plan rooted in his extensive research and lived experience.
Our appetite is killing us and the planet. What can we do? Join Henry and food writer Bee Wilson for answers in a timely conversation on the big issues around food, farming, diet and health.
In conversation with food writer and Festival Honorary Patron Bee Wilson.
