Keynote Speaker
Professor Alice V. Stanton, is a clinician-scientist, currently a Professor at Cardiovascular Pharmacology at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland,. She is also a Director of Human Health at Devenish Nutrition.
Author of over 140 peer-reviewed published papers, Professor Stanton has delivered many lectures concerning evidenced-based healthy diets from sustainable food systems, including the Science Lecture at the January 2020 Oxford Farming Conference.
The Lecture
Our subject is highly topical given the challenges facing the industry around diet and the environment. In November, COP27 will have concluded in Egypt just the week before our lecture and this contentious subject will inevitably have been on the international agenda.
Panellists
Following the lecture, Jayne Buxton, author of The Great Plant-Based Con, John Powell, Head of Agriculture Sectors Team in Defra, and Liveryman Judith Batchelar OBE, Director of Food Matters International, will discuss the issues raised as part of our Q&A panel, facilitated by our lecture's Chairman, Liveryman Stuart Roberts.
Jayne is an ambassador for The Real Food Campaign and The Public Health Collaboration, having also written for publications such as The Guardian and The Independent.
John has worked as an advisor to over 20 EU candidate countries on the establishment of EU agricultural policies and institutions and has also worked on future farming policy and Environmental Land Management schemes.
Judith is a biochemist and nutritionist. Former Director for Sainsbury's plc, she has worked in the food sector for over 35 years and was awarded her OBE in 2015 for services to Food and Farming.
