Description

Future of Food: Nottingham innovations and global food security … as told through one risotto

About the event

Nottingham’s double Michelin-Starred chef Sat Bains will serve a risotto, using ingredients linked to research at the University’s UK and Malaysia campuses. Sat’s risotto will be a delicious entrée into a debate with our academics around food, sustainable crops for the future, energy and how we can address a key challenge of our time – Global Food Security. Join Professor Joanne Hort, Dr Debbie Sparkes and Professor Mark Gillott, MPs and leading food industry figures in sampling Sat’s risotto and finding out how research at Nottingham is shaping the future of food.

Speakers:

  • Sat Bains (Chef-proprietor, Restaurant Sat Bains)

  • Professor Joanne Hort (Sensory Science, The University of Nottingham)

  • Dr Debbie Sparkes (Agronomy, The University of Nottingham)

  • Professor Mark Gillot (Sustainable Building Design, The University of Nottingham)

  • Sir Peter Kendall (Chair, Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board) 

Supported by: Restaurant Sat Bains and The University of Nottingham
