The Food Conversation is a much-needed opportunity for citizens to talk about what they really want from food.

Food is at the centre of some of the biggest challenges we face. Headlines about food security, diet-related ill health, the impact on nature and climate of food production, food bank usage (and more) dominate the media and are part of our daily discourse. Yet, governments have struggled to grasp the nettle on food system policies. Attempts to change anything about the way food works have floundered as policymakers have disagreed about what people want from food.

The Food Conversation aims to change this and provide a well-evidenced view of what citizens really think about food – exploring how citizens understand the complexities of the issue and the necessity for trade-offs.

You can be part of this conversation. Incredible Edible Loughborough, Circular Agriculture Hub, and Charnwood Forest Geopark are jointly presenting events in and around Charnwood Forest over the coming weeks and it would be great if you could join us at one of them to have your say – it’s a subject we all have experience of.

The attached poster detail the dates, times, and venues for the events. Attendance is free but places need to be booked using the QR code or email address provided – there are still some places available at both September events so please share the details around your networks.

Weather warning issued! ⚠️

A Met Office yellow weather warning for thunderstorms is in place from 12 noon today with the chance of localised flooding across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Three flood alerts have also been issued for Leicester and Leicestershire by the Environment Agency .

The latest weather updates mean possible disruption to road and rail journeys, the chance of flooded properties in some areas, and the potential for power cuts.

Flooding can strike anywhere - especially where ground is dry - so always try to:

• Know your risk and stay informed
• Check in on others, especially people who live alone or may find it harder to cope
• Never enter flood water, on foot or in a vehicle. In an emergency, call 999

Make sure you're prepared for flooding 👉🏽 https://orlo.uk/ptBJZ
