Culture, Community and Food Futures Webinar
WebinarTuesday 10 February 2026 • 12:0013:30
Join voices from across the sustainable food and farming movement to celebrate the knowledge, creativity and leadership that people from the global majority bring to food systems.
On Tuesday 10 February 2026, from 12 - 1:30pm, Sustain's Diversity Outreach Coordinator, Sareta Puri, will host a panel that looks beyond the supply chains and policy in the food system - to the people, culture and joy that underpins it.
During this 90-minute webinar the panel will explore what becomes possible when food movements centre belonging, care and culture. Speakers will outline the relevance of culture, creativity, and belonging to a progressive food system for all. They will offer provocations to inspire those working in the movement to centre this work. Joining the panel are:
- Mallika Basu: a writer, presenter and commentator on food, drink and hospitality, known for her belief in food as a force for good.
- Betty Vandy: a chef and founder of Gather at The Table in Liverpool. Her work celebrates connections through food and is rooted in joy.
This webinar is part of the Culture Roots Collective series, this panel celebrates and uplifts people from the global majority working across the UK sustainable food and farming sector.
