Food Futures

Join Tom Fouhy and other speakers for a selection of bitesize talks on their vision for the future of food at The Crawford Art Gallery at Food Futures, the closing event at Meat and Potatoes, the food-themed exhibition which has been on display in the gallery since July. 

A series of TED-style talks will feature Tom’s take on the Irish potential to grow pulses, space-age solutions to urban farming with Jenny Twomey from Green Towers, European Farm to Fork strategy with Dr Barbara Doyle Prestwich from UCC’s School of BEES, and the latest research on potato blight resistance with Dr John Mackrill of UCC’s Department of Physiology.

 The evening will be hosted by food policy expert Ruth Hegarty.

 Join Ruth and our speakers for this informal event that will also feature a host of interesting nibbles and leave time for a last look at the Meat and Potatoes exhibition, which comes to a close on Sunday 6 November.
