We will hear from food partnerships already working within combined authorities and those in areas negotiating devolution deals, as well as from UK-wide organisations working with councils navigating these changes.

There will be ample time for Q&As as well as a discussion on how our network can prepare for and identify opportunities in this changing landscape.
