Climate Scientists, politicians, big business, food companies and agriculture leaders have all gathered for the COP28 climate summit in Dubai. Discussions will be deep and meaningful, so we were rather surprised to be sent a colourful poster, published by an online casino site. It has a timeline showing what the effects would be if everyone in the UK cut out meat, for just one day a week. The poster shows the progression through the decades, from an increase in eating plant based foods, to fewer emissions from less livestock. How was this work done? The whole thing was generated by the AI tool, ChatGPT. We ask emeritus professor of food policy at City University in London, Tim Lang, what he thought of it.All week we're travelling around England to see some of the 22 pilot schemes for landscape recovery. They're part of the Government's post-Brexit farm policy; different schemes are being designed in the other home nations. Today, we're in Dorset in Poole Harbour which focuses on improving water quality to benefit birds, wildlife, farmland and people.Farmers are facing very different ways to fund what they do, especially when providing environmental goods, whether that be under government schemes or providing carbon offsetting for private companies. To achieve that backing, farmers have to prove they are making a difference and that means they must measure what they are doing. Anna Hill went to a Agri-TechE gathering, an organisation that connects farmers, growers, technologists and entrepreneurs. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Tim Lang, president and chief executive officer with Youth Employment Services (YES), about the job market for young people this summer and Toronto-based comedian Hisham Kelati about a job he thought was the best at 13 years old, but now looks back on it as the absolute worst job he's ever had.

Este episodio vai falar sobre Irradiação de alimentos. A última vez que vc ouviu falar de irradiação deve ter sido no seu o dentista quando usou um colete de chumbo pra te proteger dos raio X OU talvez em 1945 quando uma bomba atômica matou e esterilizou milhões de japoneses em Hiroshima e Nagasaki. Esterilizar. Essa continua sendo a principal ação da irradiação nos alimentos. *Bibliografia* -Livro- Tony Webb, Tim Lang e Kathleen Tucker. Food Irradiation: who wants it?

The Russian conflict in Ukraine is already causing hunger there, and as Ukraine and Russia are huge grain exporters, the crisis will be far reaching. Food prices everywhere are expected to rise, and there's fear that the war could affect food supplies in some of the poorest parts of the world. Tim Lang, Emeritus Professor of Food Policy at City University of London, and Dr Hannah Ritchie, Head of Research at the website Our World in Data, join us to discuss food security. Lead is highly toxic to humans and other animals. One source of lead in the environment is the bullets and shot used to hunt wild game, and new research shows that lead shot has a significant effect on birds of prey such as eagles, buzzards and vultures across the whole of Europe. One of the study's authors, Professor Debbie Pain, explains the research. Many of us have spent the past two years anxiously following Covid graphs, but from next month the government is cutting funding to several surveillance programmes. Mass free testing will also end, though the Office for National Statistics survey will continue. Given that case numbers are rising, is reduced monitoring wise? Professor Adam Kucharski from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine discusses how important surveillance has been in the pandemic. The last crewed mission to the Moon was half a century ago, and no one has made that one small step since. But a new NASA programme aims to change that, and tonight is the rollout of Artemis I, the first stage on a journey to return humans to the moon, including the first woman on the moon and the first person of colour on the moon. BBC science correspondent Jon Amos paints a picture of what we'll see tonight.

A complex web of factors affects our ability not only to meet nutritional needs, but also our efforts to sustain biodiversity and protect the environment. As the world's agricultural, environmental, and nutritional needs intersect—and often collide—how can nations, international organizations and consumers work together to reverse the damage by changing how we make, distribute, and buy food? And do we have the right to eat wrongly?Jessica Fanzo is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Global Food & Agricultural Policy and Ethics at Johns Hopkins University. She has previously worked as an advisor for various organizations and governments including the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Scaling Up Nutrition movement (SUN), the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

It's three months since dead crabs and lobsters started washing up on beaches across the north east of England. At the time, the Environment Agency said investigating the source of the deaths was ‘a top priority' but since then thousands of shellfish have died and those deaths are still unexplained. Now fishermen say they're losing their livelihoods and the government must help. Campaigners are calling for reforms to food labelling. A new organisation called OmniAction wants a new set of global standards. Tim Lang, Emeritus Professor of Food Policy at City University, London says better labelling, which offered consumers more details, would put pressure on companies to improve their standards. Some farmers in the South West have described government plans for the future of farming as "confused and patronising". New Environmental Land Management schemes are replacing the previous system of support payments in England, rewarding farmers for ‘public goods' like carbon capture and improving habitats. Communities in Exmoor National Park are sceptical about how the scheme will work for them.

The UK Government National Food Strategy, led by Henry Dimbleby the founder of restaurant chain Leon, has submitted a set of recommendations to help the nation become healthier, reduce obesity and become more sustainable. Will the strategy form the foundation of a healthier future? Or do we need to look deeper at key issues that face our dysfunctional food system? The Table Talk Podcast has spoken to the leading voices in the country to find out how we can fix our broken food system, and build a secure future. In this episode we look back to conversations with Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy, Jo Churchill MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prevention, Public Health and Primary Care, Chris Venables, Head of Politics, Green Alliance and Dr Michael Clark, Researcher, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford to discuss the scale of the problems the UK faces, what the government proposes to do to fix them, and whether meat and dairy consumption needs to be dramatically reduced in order to meet climate targets. Join the conversation on Table Talk. About our guests Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy Tim Lang has been Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy since 2002. He founded the Centre in 1994. After a PhD in social psychology at Leeds University, he became a hill farmer in the 1970s in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire which shifted his attention to food policy, where it has been ever since. For years, he's engaged in academic and public research and debate about its direction, locally to globally. His abiding interest is how policy addresses the mixed challenge of being food for the environment, health, social justice, and citizens. What is a good food system? How is ours measured and measuring up? His current research interests are (a) sustainable diets, (b) the meaning of modern food security and (c) the implications of Brexit for the food system. Jo Churchill MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prevention, Public Health and Primary Care Jo Churchill was brought up in East Anglia and, before moving to Suffolk two years ago, lived and worked in the rural county of Lincolnshire, with her husband and four daughters. Her early career started in retail for both regional and global brands and led her into site development and the building industry. Since 1994, she has run two successful contracting companies. In July 2016, she was elected, with joint highest nominations to join the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA).  In July 2016, she was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Rt Hon Mike Penning MP, Minister of State for Armed Forces.  In 2017, she was appointed PPS to Jeremy Hunt MP, Secretary of State for the Department of Health.  In 2018, she was appointed to Assistant Government Whip in HM Government.  In 2019, she was appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prevention, Public Health and Primary Care in HM Government. Chris Venables, Head of Politics, Green Alliance Chris runs Green Alliance's Political Leadership theme.

He manages the Climate leadership programme for MPs and joint UK-focused advocacy work with business and civil society. He previously worked in the Houses of Parliament as the campaigns and political lead for Green Party MP Caroline Lucas on environmental issues. Before that, he led the work for the global health charity Medact on social and economic justice and worked in Brussels for a foreign policy think tank. He has been involved in grassroots organising and campaigning for over a decade. He has a BA in politics from the University of York. Dr Michael Clark, Researcher, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford Mike's research interests include the environmental, economic, and health impacts of food systems. He uses models to provide quantitative estimates on the current and projected impacts of the food system, as well as the potential benefits of changing the food system (e.g. by changing diets, or the rate at which yields increases). Mike joined the Centre on Population Approaches for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention in August 2018, and is working on expanding the Centre's food system model to incorporate biodiversity and economic outcomes in collaboration with the Wellcome funded projected "Livestock, Environment and People", as well as with researchers from other departments across Oxford and international collaborators. Mike holds a PhD in Natural Resources Science and Management from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, and studied biology and ecology at undergraduate level.

Sugar and salt should be taxed and vegetables prescribed by the NHS, an independent review of the food we eat has suggested. The report, led by businessman Henry Dimbleby, said taxes raised could extend free school meal provision and support better diets among the poorest. He asked "is the freedom to keep Frosties cheap worth destroying the NHS?" Today's Nick Robinson also heard from Stephanie Curran, who runs a food poverty charity; Kim, mother of four; Justin King, former Sainsbury's chief executive and was on the advisory panel for the report; Minette Batters, National Farmers' Union president; and Tim Lang, Professor Emeritus of food policy at City University of London.

In this online lecture, chaired by Professor Nick Pearce, Professor of Food Policy at City, University of London, Tim Lang, discusses the challenge now facing Brexit Britain over food security. Featuring a response from Director of Policy and Strategy at the Soil Association, Joanna Lewis, and an introduction from Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bath, Professor Ian White. This lecture took place on 21 October 2020.

Hannah MacInnes joins Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy, Centre for Food Policy, School of Health Sciences, City, University of London, on The Klosters Forum Feed & Flourish Podcast series, to discuss the topic of biodiversity and ways in which we can transform our food systems in order to positively preserve our planet. Hill farming in Lancashire UK in the 1970s formed Tim's interest in the relationship between food, health, environment, culture and political economy. 

Britain's food and farming future in the post-Brexit era are set to be defined by the Agriculture Bill which is currently making its way through parliament. Its system of subsidies designed to reward sustainability rather than scale may have a positive impact on farmers, retailers, the environment and the wider public, but many in the food world are hugely concerned about the Bill's damaging impact in other areas. We invited a panel of experts from across the food industry to discuss positive aspects of the Bill alongside concerns that the legislation lack. The panel includes: Tom Parker Bowles, Food Critic; Minette_Batters, President of the NFU; Darren Henaghan, MD of Borough Market; and Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy.  

Professor Tim Lang published his new book this March, Feeding Britain (https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/308/308380/feeding-britain/9780241442227.html) , which argues that ‘UK is de facto, facing a war time scale of food challenge’. COVID-19 has put a sharp focus on the issues that Professor Lang raises in the book around our unsustainable food system. This podcast will explore what makes our current food system dysfunctional and what can be done to revert the damage.

This month OFC Director, Sarah Mukherjee, caught up with Professor Tim Lang to put forward more of your questions, following our July #OFCBitesize. During the podcast Tim talks about the future of food, public health, policy and trade.

On January 31st, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union. As Britain leaps into the unknown, it leaves its population in anxious anticipation of the nation’s future. At first, this seismic shift in global politics may feel abstract. After all, most Britons resumed their usual routines on February 1st. But, slowly, citizens will see the consequences of Brexit - and, in all likelihood, food will be the first place that people will begin to notice changes. We talked to experts to find out how Brexit is shifting what the UK will eat and drink in the future.Meat and Three is powered by Simplecast. 

Garden Organic’s President, Professor Tim Lang talks about food policy. We discuss food security, obesity and malnutrition - and the vital role food policy has in our health, society, economy and environment. Prof Lang is Head of City, University London’s Centre for Food policy, and has advised governments around the world on food matters.

How much food does the UK import from Europe and how dependent are UK farmers on European subsidies? Will the price of food in supermarkets go up, or down? And will food safety standards change?

Tim Lang (Centre for Food Policy, City University London) Seminar hosted by the SOAS Research Cluster on Food, Nutrition and Health in Development. Abstract: The term "Sustainable Diets" (SD) entered the public health lexicon in 1987, but its translation into reality is proving slow. In its most pared-down formulation, SD means good nutrition with low carbon emissions. In more complex forms, it means eating within environmental limits while eating well for health and in a manner appropriate to economic, social and cultural circumstances. Whichever version of SD is adopted, policy-makers have been surprisingly reluctant to translate the term into public advice. This paper explores the advantages and threats posed by this obvious and rational direction for public health nutrition and for food systems re-design. It asks specifically whether developing countries could and should adopt the pursuit of new national sustainable dietary guidelines. It argues that the adoption of sustainable diets as and overarching population goal offers a combination of radical and reasonable drivers for development. Speaker biography: Tim Lang is Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy. He was a hill farmer in Lancashire in the 1970s. This formed his interest in the policy shapes it. He studies and engages with food policy debate at local, national and international levels.

In the last of the summer series of panel discussions at Borough Talks, Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University asks an expert panel about the true cost of the food we eat? The panel includes Robin Gill, chef-proprietor of The Dairy, The Manor, Counter Culture and Paradise Garage; Patrick Holden, founder of the Sustainable Food Trust; Donald Hyslop, head of regeneration and community partnerships at Tate Modern and chair of the Trustees of Borough Market; Carolyn Steel, author of Hungry City: How Food Shapes Our Lives; and Richard Swannell, development director of WRAP. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The final debate in 2015’s Borough Talks series was on the future of food. The talk looked ahead, questioning what we’ll be eating in 50 years’ time – as well as how and where we’ll be doing it. The debate was led by Borough Market Trustee and Professor Of Food Policy at City University, Tim Lang and saw other panellists covering a wide-ranging topics from ultra-processed food to the shrinking retail environment and even alternative sources of protein. The speakers: -Professor Tim Lang: a trustee of the Market and Professor Of Food Policy at City University, Tim has extensive experience in examining the decision-making process that shapes the food supply chain. - Sam Bompas, of Bompas and Parr: Sam and his partner Harry are responsible for some of the most innovative flavour-based experiences of recent years and are continually looking at ways to push the boundaries of culinary research, edible architectural installations and contemporary food design. - Douglas McMaster: head chef and owner of SILO in Brighton, the UK's first zero-waste restaurant. - Victoria Loomes: senior trend analyst who will discuss consumer trends and how they are applied in the food world. - Moderator: Joanna Blythman, investigative food journalist and author of seven books, including the recently published Swallow This: Serving Up The Food Industry's Darkest Secrets

“Forget organic. Eat local.” Nice, simple advice, from the cover of Time magazine. But more or less pointless. There’s so much more to food systems than just the distance the food travels. Tim Lang coined the phrase food miles. We talked about the complexities of the food system.

Tim Lang has been Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy since 2002.

This lecture, given by Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy, Centre for Food Policy, City University, London, focuses on the politics and social fissures that cut across contemporary food policy concerns. The 2007-08 commodity price spike enabled a mainly technical, production-oriented approach to future food to stake its claim in mainstream policy discourse. Critics propose that this 'productionism' marginalises and downplays the social dimension of food systems. Food is not just a matter of farming nutrients but is a matter of culture, meanings, aspirations, social justice. In that respect, modern food policy can be helped by an old distinction between needs and wants. Yet the late 20th century left a legacy of food systems supposedly shaped by consumerism and consumer demand. In reality, so-called market economics are distorted and often dominated by increasingly powerful food corporations concerned with their market share more than the food system's sustainability or equitable distribution. The lecture proposed that modern food policy debate is a new phase in an old tension between on the one hand what William Beveridge called Food Control and on the other hand Food Democracy, by which we mean the pursuit of a more equitable rights-based food system. While one offers a technocratic and managerialist approach to policy, the other now needs to focus on the policy mess caused by declining state influence, rising corporate power and mass consumption premised on a diet that is literally unsustainable in that it consumes excessive resources. The lecture concluded that, whatever the attractions of productionism, more attention is needed on the democratic questions of how to improve accountability, governance and societal not just individualised choices. Some reform is needed of food institutions, instruments and policy frameworks. The challenge of achieving a good food system (where populations eat sustainable diets fed by sustainable food supply chains) requires a strong societal ethos and the articulation of a more complex model of the public good than has been exhibited in national and international debate recently. If just some of the crises anticipated by food analysts come about, the debate about Food Control and Food Democracy is likely to move from academia to hard politics.
