GFEI Webinar: the role of traditional markets in sustainable food systems

In this Global Food and Environment Institute (GFEI) webinar, Professor Sara Gonzalez shares insights on traditional retail markets in the UK.

Professor Sara Gonzalez will speak about her research on traditional retail markets in the UK, which has evidenced the social, economic and cultural value they generate for local communities.

Sara will focus on their role as provisioning spaces for affordable and fresh food in urban food systems and their potential for contributing to a just food transition. She will also explain why this has been neglected in urban and food policy and make specific recommendations.

This presentation draws from the Markets4People project funded by UK Research and Innovation and more recent projects in collaboration with Bradford Council and Leeds City Council.
