Louise Manning has worked for over 40 years informing strategy, policy, business productivity and efficiency and personal development in the agri-food sector. She has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers and written/edited multiple books and book chapters. Her recent work focuses specifically on multiple aspects of food system transition.
There is much discussion about regenerative agriculture and how this could help to reverse some of the challenges in the food system today, including improving soil health, tackling biodiversity loss, delivering high animal welfare, adapting to climate change and improving the nutritional content of our food. But what does the shift to a new model for agri-food production mean for farmers, policy makers and citizens? SCI’s SCItalks are given by the most prominent and influential academics, thinkers and industry leaders who are working to translate scientific innovation into societal impact.
These talks form part of an SCI’s charitable outreach which seeks to create public conversations about science-based topics in a way that is accessible to all. This is the first in a three-part SCItalk series on sustainability.
