This month we're in Northumberland for #TheFoodConversation .

With farming forming a critical part of the local economy, we're looking forward to hearing from Northumbrians about how food connects us & what needs to change.

Narratives about what 'the public' want are powerful. They're often used to justify gov inaction or prop up corporate interests.

But findings from @ffc_commission #TheFoodConversation will provide a more nuanced & honest story about what citizens really want from food systems.
