HOW THE WORLD EATS

A Salon with Julian Baggini

Ideas Festival / Sat 29th Nov / 4:30-6 pm

It’s old news that our food system is broken. Most of us rely on a complex global food web of production, distribution, consumption and disposal that is now contending with unprecedented challenges. The need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent.

Food is tied to fundamental inequities, power dynamics, and challenges to dominant systems...It's time to resist and commit to an alternative to our current unsustainable path. Philosopher Julian Baggini embarks on a thought-provoking exploration of global food systems, taking us on a journey through the cultural, ethical, and technological dimensions of food. He uncovers the best and worst of how societies approach feeding themselves and exposes the big ideas shaping our plates and our futures.

Come away with his global food philosophy, one that is humane and resourceful, offering new ways to create fair and sustainable food systems for the 21st century.
