The online Food Power Festival was a four-day celebration of the Food Power network filled with workshops, panels, films and performance. People with lived experience, food poverty alliances, food partnerships, local authorities, food banks, academics and a host of others working to tackle the root causes of food insecurity joined.
Attendees shared learning from across the Food Power network and beyond, reflected on and celebrated the work of food poverty alliances around the country, regrouped, recharged and planned for the recovery from the pandemic.
We recreated a festival atmosphere with a variety of sessions and a different theme each day, as shared in the final programme. Most sessions were recorded and are shared below.
