Net Zero: A key driver for change in the UK food system
Organised by IFST
This event was by invitation only, however, we also ran satellite events that members attended.
The IFST Lecture is always one of the highlights of our year. This year's lecture is particularly special, being the first physical event we will host since before the start of the pandemic. Because of this, we also want to make this an evening of celebration. As we normally do, we hosted this in London, but we also streamed live to various satellite receptions around the UK.
