Those interested in food and anthropology should check out ‘Exploring food, Connecting Communities’, Sunday March 8th 10:30am -4:30 pm at the British Museum, London.
The event will bring together a range of perspectives from local food producers, teachers, students, social scientists and anthropologists, on food, culture and community. The event aims to raise public awareness of food projects that exist within different communities in the UK and abroad, and foster future collaboration between associated groups of individuals. A central theme of the event will be to explore how the International Slow Food Movement has inspired local food projects and the ways in which the movement’s ideas of local, sustainable food production have been adapted to suit different community needs. The event aims to address questions such as: How have food projects and healthy eating/cooking campaigns helped to generate awareness and shift consumer attitudes? What are some of the difficulties faced by farmers and others involved in food production? How can we address concerns regarding accessibility and affordability? What are some of the problems with our current food production system?

The event is free but booking is required.
