SFDF's 8th annual joint Symposium with IFST and REHIS takes place at the George Hotel in Edinburgh on 22 April, and it looks at 'The Future of Food: Can we strike the right balance?'.
Industry experts will examine several issues, including food security, feeding a growing global population, the impact of climate change, securing a sustainable food industry, and the potential role of GM.
SFDF have lined-up some top notch speakers to stimulate debate, including Iain Ferguson, the former President of FDF and ex-Tate & Lyle; Sir David Baulcombe, of the Royal Society; Professor Charles Milne of the Food Standards Agency; Hugh Raven of the Soil Association; and NFU Scotland Chief Executive James Withers; alongside representatives of the Scottish Government and Syngenta. The Chairman for the day will be Professor Graeme Millar, FSA Board Member for Scotland.
