Borough Talks...how the pandemic is shaping our food future

How the pandemic is shaping our food future

Part of a series of digital discussion events being hosted by me for Borough Market.

Last year brought about huge changes in how we get and consume our food. As we begin to emerge from the pandemic, join our panel to consider the possible enduring impact of those changes and what – for better or worse – they mean for our food future. We’ll be considering it all: where and how we get our food shopping; the role of supermarkets and local markets; the impact on both home cooking and dining out culture; and what it all means for the planet, our pockets and our wellbeing.

I’ll be joined by panelists Carolyn Steel, whose work on food and cities is world-renowned; psychologist (and Great British Bake Off finalist) Kimberley Wilson, who is well placed to consider the emotional and mental health impact of the pandemic on our food culture; and best-selling food writer Anna Jones, whose cooking encourages all of us to take a more sustainable approach to food.
