After a series of global shocks, and shifting geopolitical conditions, the food ecosystem is under pressure to engage in rapid transformation. These shocks - COVID-19, pressures on supply chains from sustainability directives, the energy crisis stemming from the Russian/Ukrainian war to name a few - have highlighted the precarious nature of the food supply chain, the importance of food security, the need for a strong sustainability focus, and the implications of labour shortages on food supply. In this context, we ask the question what is the future of work in the food ecosystem? This event draws on a series of projects spanning the breadth of work in food, starting with the value chain and agriculture, shifting into food processing, followed by the warehousing and retailing of food. While each of these areas of the food ecosystem faces their own distinct challenges, this event seeks to start a conversation about the implications of broader trends for the future of work in food.

Date: Tuesday 16th April 2024. Time: 1pm – 5pm. Register for attendance details at https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/work-and-equalities-institute/future-of-the-food-ecosystem. The event will be held in person at Alliance Manchester Business School and will be offered hybrid.
