FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The world of food is rapidly changing: from health and nutritional science to environmental impact, the food we choose to put on our plates is a complex and increasingly significant topic of engagement. Reaching a global audience and creating easy access to information is crucial to create dialogue from the many spheres co-operating in this vast space. Captivating minds in this discussion relies on powerful, relatable content: from magnetic visuals to thought-provoking written dialect that reaches all.

GATHERINGS TO PROMOTE CHANGE

Conversations around positive change of our food systems

There is no better way to drive positive conversations than around a table of good food.
With a plethora of incredible food producers, I work with producers to build creative events with a focus on the production of good food, with good people.
The aim is to bring together: food producers, food media and change advocates to stimulate the conversation on how to create healthy, sustainable food systems. Not many napkins are folded and plates are generally useful but chipped, because the emphasis and energy is on great food and people who produce it.
