Event Details

Join N8 AgriFood between Monday 9 and Friday 13 November for a week of five expert webinars with over 20 speakers to launch our Food Systems Policy Hub. This new initiative draws on evidence from across the N8 universities to effect real-world change on the food system.

It’s essential that N8 AgriFood's wide-ranging research has real-world impact and this is the driving force behind our Food Systems Policy Hub. We take a food systems approach, which combines expertise from across the N8 universities to inform policy at local, national and international levels, creating change to tackle the various challenges within the food system.
