Place-based preparedness in practice
Place-based food economies are an opportunity to redesign food systems, from the bottom up, in ways that distribute profit and power more fairly throughout the value chain. They are also essential if we are to create a truly defensible nation with distributed resilience and communities that can thrive in spite of an attack on the centre. But what do place-based food economies look like - how do they help towns and villages too prepare for crisis - and how can we use these different visions of food societies to reach out to under-represented groups. ffinlo Costain is joined by:* Daphne Du Cros, Coordinator and Co-Director of the Shropshire Good Food Partnership, and author of the report, Civil Food Resilience in Practice* Jenny Ekelund, the Chief Executive of Good Food Oxfordshire* Dominic Watters, a council estate single dad and PhD Researcher at the University of Southampton.This is the latest in a series of programmes drawing on conversations that took place at the UK's Conference on Food & National Security, which was co-produced by Ark and Farm Gate. Our sponsors were Howden, Savills and Saffery - and our founding patron was Marian Boswall.

How to accelerate nature markets
For more than a decade, nature markets have promised wadges of new cash for farmers, promising them financial security as they work to bridge the regenerative transition and restore natural infrastructure. But while many land managers are ready to supply carbon or nature credits, the demand simply hasn't scaled, and the market that does exist is hard to navigate. So, where are we now, and what's the future for nature markets?ffinlo Costain is joined by Luke Baldwin, Chief Executive of Nature Broking - Lucy Jenner, Head of Natural Capital Consultancy at Savills - and Alastair Grizzell, former Head of Nat Cap at Zora Ecosystems, and now Commercial Director at Ark Intelligence & Events.

Mobilising capital for food and nature
UK governments spend around £4 billion a year on farming and nature, but we need a further £4-10 billion a year just to hit our nature and environment targets. Meanwhile, £11 trillion is managed by the UK's investment industry, and the gap is a rounding error by comparison. So how do we get more of that capital flowing into nature recovery and agroecological food and farming systems?ffinlo Costain is joined by Isabelle Cadignan, Co-Lead on Climate Risk & Resilience at Howden Insurance Brokers - by Annabel Ross, Director of Capital Markets Sustainability for Lloyds Banking Group - by Eoin Murray, the Chief Investment Officer at Rebalance Earth - and by Tom Pycraft, the founder of Ark Events.
