Jonathon Porritt

Jonathon Porritt CBE delivered the 31st Annual Campden lecture, addressing Sustainability through Food Security What are the challenges that face industry and Government as a result of agreed targets for the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions?

In a provocative critique of current Government policy, envionmentalist Jonathon Porritt takes us through the major factors that will affect food production, explains why he believes that Government Policy on this is not fit for purpose, and argues that sustainability and food security are inextricabily linked. He also spells out the challenges that lie before the food and drink supply chain, as companies will be reuqired to cut emissions in response to agreed national targets.
