THEME
‘A Question of Scale’ is a conversation in the context of global vulnerabilities and challenges – climate, pandemic, risks to supply chain, jobs, etc – that will…
- identify ‘Blockers & Enablers’ to a co-operative, community-led approach to regional resilience;
- secure local supply chains and strengthen regional economies;
- outline the benefits of regional economies (especially, but not limited to, the agri-food sector);
- encourage co-operative effort in local production for local need;
- identify the potential for livelihoods in our regions (with a focus on the midlands).
