Events for March 2024

The Greenprint Forum have a vision for an East Suffolk where we work together to improve our quality of life and living standards whilst reducing our environmental impact. As part of this, we want tasty, healthy food of good quality that is accessible to people and that is grown and farmed in ways that minimise negative impacts and maximise positive impacts on natural resources.
This event is a Forum to explore the localisation of the production and supply of food, evaluation and enhancement of the assets of natural capital upon which the very production of food depends, and how the risks faced by farmers undergoing transformation need to be tackled.

Award-winning author Louise Gray (The Ethical Carnivore) joins us to discuss her newest book Avocado Anxiety. In an effort to make sense of the complex food system, Louise tracked the stories of our most popular fruit and vegetables from farm to fruit bowl, in order to assess their impact on the planet.

As her book reveals, there are no clear-cut answers. But that doesn’t mean we should throw our hands up in despair. Rather, we need to learn what questions to pose, so we can engage in more nuanced and thoughtful cost-benefit calculations at the grocery store.
