Food poverty and the economy in Birmingham - Wednesday 15th July

People's Economy is hosting a workshop in collaboration with the Food Justice Network in Birmingham and would love for you to join us.

The event will be an interactive workshop format and will focus on the economics of food poverty and injustice. Join us to explore how power and the economy shape our communities and discover people-led alternatives for a fairer future.

'Economy' can feel like an intimidating word, but this session will create space to explore our shared understanding of the political and economic systems in which we live. We will deepen our knowledge of how those systems impact our communities, our work, and our ability to create meaningful change. Participants will get a chance to explore themes such as:

Why does food cost so much?
How does what's happening elsewhere in the UK and globally relate to food poverty in Birmingham?
What economic systems are in place which prevent so many from accessing adequate amounts of healthy food?
How can the Food Justice Network use this understanding of economic policies and the economic system to enact concrete change?
