This panel discussion, followed by a networking reception, will present examples of how changes to how we produce, manage and think about food & farming can maximise benefits for people & planet, and why this is an essential competent of achieving the Paris Agreement. Though hearing directly from people working in sustainable agriculture in Scotland and in Zambia, then reflecting on the global finance and policy context which sits beneath this, this event will attempt to put the human experience of food & farming into the policy context of COP26.

The event will be chaired by Pete Ritchie, Chief Executive of Nourish Scotland. Speakers include:
· Jenny Gilruth, Minister for International Development and Europe (Scottish Government)

· Graham Gordon, CAFOD
· Francois Delvaux, CIDSE
