Are you able to get enough veg everyday? Do want to make it easier for people where you live to eat good food? Let’s discuss and take action!
This is an interactive Zoom session that looks at some of the obstacles we have in Scotland to sourcing and eating good food, specifically fresh veg. It’s an opportunity to learn how the current food system works, and to discuss as group the different barriers we face and how we might overcome them in our communities. Our aim is to look at a whole systems approach to food, get lived experiences of our food environment and invite those with a passion for change to become Veg Advocates to help us to tackle some of the issues as individuals and part of our communities.
What can I expect?
We hope to explore the difficulties in accessing nutritious food (both personal and collective), learn about UK’s health outlook and how it relates to food, and find practical steps to get involved and be part of the solution. Join us in this workshop to:
hear what the Pease Please project is about
learn current stats and facts about the UK national veg intake
learn practical tips and strategies that can help your own community to eat more veg
reflect on current practices and barriers for people to access healthy food
share your own knowledge and experiences
learn how to become a Veg Advocate
Is it for me?
If you eat you are in! We are looking for people who are passionate about veg to get involved, share their experience and commitment, and work with us to find solutions together. We want to explore the food system and the challenges to accessing and eating more veg, and especially interested in hearing thoughts of those with lived experience of food insecurity. Participants will also be given a £10 shopping voucher for their time.
Peas Please is about making it easier for people to access and eat more veg – but we know that just telling people to eat more veg doesn’t work, so what does? By working with farmers, high street food chains, restaurants, supermarkets, governments and people like YOU, all at the same time, we can make sure everyone can eat enough veg.
This November, COP26 was due to take place in Glasgow. To mark this moment, the COP26 Coalition is hosting From the Ground Up – a global gathering providing the space to educate, strategise and co-ordinate, to build power and connect within our global justice movements. This is an opportunity for Scottish, UK, European and international climate justice movements to build momentum and capacity, and to connect to broader civil society to build power for system change.
Full programme and registration details are available online.
The webinar is part of a series of webinars on food systems approach in practice promoted by members of the One Planet Network Sustainable Food Systems Programme (SFS Programme), a global multi-stakeholder platform to support countries in the transition towards sustainable food systems.
In the webinar, we will present the recommendations from the Report Enhancing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for Food Systems, recently published by WWF, UNEP, EAT and Climate Focus, which explains 16 specific food system-related mitigation and adaptation measures countries can take. Furthermore, we will discuss ways for building policy coherence and present the Glasgow Food and Climate Declaration, a national and sub-national government’s pledge to accelerate the development of integrated food policies to fight against climate change. Lastly, the webinar will explain the interlinkages between food systems approaches and climate change mitigation and adaptation, and bring national and local level governments representatives to present their measures.
