 lanetary environmental impacts and an integrated solution. \n\nRecently mo
 re and more research appears about the impact of our food on the environme
 nt. Join us in this talk exploring a solution to food's staggering toll on
  earth. Based on data on 40\,000 farms in 120 countries we will discuss ma
 ndatory environmental labels - displaying emissions\, pesticide toxicity\,
  water use\, and impact on biodiversity. How can we make producers account
 able for their impacts\; support effective taxes and subsidies\; and drive
  the essential transition away from meat and dairy?\n\nJoseph Poore gradua
 ted with an MA and MPhil in Land Economy from the University of Cambridge\
 , where he now runs the annual Denman Lecture series. Following this he wo
 rked for 4 years leading strategy consultancy on projects addressing resou
 rce\, allocation\, profitability\, growth and risk. Currently he is a stud
 ent on the Environmental Research Doctoral Training Partnership at Oxford 
 University. You can find a link to his most recent paper here: http://scie

 and vegan food will be provided - with a great opportunity for networking 
 after the talk. \n
