The Oxford Farming Conference

During this #OFCBitesize, the “Paradox of Plenty” explored the concept of equity in the current global food system - who is making the money out of a commodity that we all need?

In the vast majority of cases, it's not the farmer. Moreover, soil fertility and biodiversity is declining, some have too much food and many, many more have too little. How do we re-balance the system to ensure it is fair for all, farmer and consumer alike?

Speakers :

• Chandrashekhar Bhadsavle, Farmer in India
• Daniel McGahey, Senior Environmental and Social Scientist at Earth Systems
• Konrad Brits, Chief Executive Officer at Falcon Coffees Limited

Chair: OFC Director and Chief Executive of IEMA, Sarah Mukherjee
