The race to net-zero could mean radical changes to the ways in which we live, including what we eat. Some environmentalists are already calling for strict curbs on everything from eating meat to out-of-season vegetables. But does going green have to mean going without – or will new technologies come to our rescue?

This special Spectator event will look at the future of food and the role of innovation and technologies in providing good quality produce that doesn’t cost the Earth.
