5x15 And Keystone Present: Six Ideas To Change The World: Food

The Six Ideas to Change the World series, in partnership with Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust, launches in May with Henry Dimbleby on Food.

The co-founder of LEON restaurant chain and author of the National Food Strategy, Dimbleby is a leading voice on how the food we eat affects of our own health and the health of the planet.

His new book Ravenous: How to Get Ourselves and Our Planet Into Shape (with Jemima Lewis), was named a Sunday Times best-seller upon its publication in March, and has been highly acclaimed by critics and figures within the food industry. In the words of Prue Leith, the book offers a ‘compelling and overdue plan of action’ that, if implemented, will put ‘our food system on the right path to health and prosperity.’

Don't miss this vital discussion about how to change our thinking around food. Henry Dimbleby will be in conversation with Tim Spector, one of top 100 most cited scientists in the world, and best-selling author of Food for Life: The New Science of Eating Well.

Six Ideas to Change the World

We are at a critical point in the global response to climate change, and the conversation around the central issues remains complex. Amidst numerous debates and conflicting narratives, public discourse runs the risk of information overload, at a time when urgent action is necessary, at both an individual and collective level. This curated series of live online events, in partnership with Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust, offers a clearer path, spotlighting the most compelling, important and hard-hitting work being published about the environment today — the six ideas that will shape the future of our planet.

Tune in each month to hear stories and ideas we can all learn from. Whether it’s advice on changing diets, or solutions to the world’s water crisis, these conversations will suggest a blueprint for what we must do in the years ahead. Each event will feature the author of a recent work, in conversation with an expert host about the most important issues and takeaways. Audiences will also have the chance to submit questions. More information about June's event on Water, with Tim Smedley and Alok Jha, is available here.
