The government recently announced plans for a new #foodstrategy, which means that one of our policy wishes for 2025 -- for a cross-cutting national food strategy -- has come true. Just in time for Christmas!

How do you facilitate effective and fair conversations around #foodsystems?
Ben, has been facilitating conversations around food as part of Food Matters for over 16 years. In this video he shares the importance of actually stepping back and talking less as a facilitator.
