DESCRIPTION:Food in the future: Plankton Pie or Carrot Cake?\n\nWhere will
  the quest for a sustainable food supply take us?\n\nWe discuss the possib
 le route for future food production in a world with a changing climate\, g
 rowing population and decreasing fossil fuel reserves. Can large scale spe
 cialised farms\, which have seen great successes\, be adapted to continue 
 to provide for us into the future\, or will growing social change drive fa
 rms towards downsizing\, urbanisation of food production\, diet change\, a
 nd reorganisation of local food networks? What balance of strategies along
  this spectrum will be needed to provide sufficient food with a low impact
  in years to come? Bring all your questions for the speakers in the panel 
 debate\, then choose from two workshops to discuss your ideas in more deta
 il: “What is the role of science in the future of farming?” or “Incr
 easing food security in Cambridge”.\n\nGuest panel speakers will be:\n*
