Julian Baggini & A C Grayling: Food for Thought

The question of how humanity fuels itself has never been more critical. From the food on our tables to the batteries in our phones, everything we consume carries an unexpected cost. In this event, philosophers A C Grayling (Who Owns the Moon?) and Julian Baggini (How the World Eats) attempt to unpick how we protect nourishment and progress without destroying our planet – and whatever lies beyond.

A C Grayling will no longer be appearing in this event.
