Soil Association Annual conference 2012
Facing the future: Innovation in food and farming
Royal Horticultural Halls, London
02 March 2012
The Soil Association’s annual conference 2012 will celebrate innovation in food and farming today. We will explore this through the two major themes of our organisation’s strategy: Facing the Future, which explores the exciting scientific and technical progress being made in organic and low-input farming systems; and Good Food for All, which contributes to the important debate about food, public health and social justice.
If the current model of food and farming is ‘unsustainable’, then we need to galvanize the finest thinkers, technologists, scientists, farmers, entrepreneurs and teachers to develop new ways of feeding a growing world population now and in the future.
In addition, the growing challenge of diet-related ill-health, in the UK and internationally, means that we need to explore the relationship between food production and its consumption. With a world that has approximately 1 billion people malnourished and 1 billion obese, there is a powerful case for bringing public health and nutritional expertise to the farming and food production table, to innovate joined-up solutions for our food future.
For alternative ways of booking or for any general conference queries, please contact Laura Andrews, Events Co-ordinator, on 0117 987 4586 or
