Oxford Martin School: Lecture Theatre

Former food policy researcher Dr Stuart Gillespie, consultant haematologist Dr Shireen Kassam and theologist Dr David Clough explore how we can choose foods that optimise our own health, provide good lives for animals both wild and farmed, minimise greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, enrich our soils and biodiversity, and can be beneficial for farmers across the world.
Gillespie has worked for a variety of UN agencies and the International Food Policy Research Institute. He is author of Food Fight: from Plunder and Profit to People and Planet in which he reimagines our global food system and suggests a sustainable, equitable, and healthy food future. Kassam is a consultant haematologist, certified lifestyle medicine physician and visiting professor of plant-based nutrition. She is founder of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK and co-author of Eating Plant-Based, Scientific Answers to Your Nutrition Questions. Clough is chair of theology and applied sciences at the University of Aberdeen and author of the two-volume monograph On Animals, exploring the place of non-human animals in Christian theology and ethics. He is co-founder of CreatureKind, which aims to transform Christian attitudes and practices toward animals, and launched the DefaultVeg campaign, which aims to nudge consumers towards plant-based options.
Discussions are chaired by Joy Carter, former vice-chancellor of the University of Winchester and a co-chair of the UK Climate Commission for Higher Education and Further Education.
In association with Compassion in World Farming.
