The second webinar in our series, A Food Strategy For Your City. This is the first series in the FOOD CITIES 2022 Learning Partnership.

We are excited to be delivering this series in partnership with Eat Right India’s Eat Smart Cities Challenge, MUFPP and SHEFS. 

This webinar series, launching June 23rd 2021, will give cities who are planning or beginning to develop a city food strategy practical information to inform and inspire their own strategies. We will explore the scope of a strategy, who can or should be involved in its development, practical policies and levers to enable food system transformation and how to implement your strategy so it delivers positive change.
