What's it about?

Visit The 'Cost' of Food stand and join the conversation about eating sustainably during a cost-of-living crisis. Based on research from the ESRC-funded Navigating Food Insecurity and Environmental Sustainability project, this interactive exhibition explores public debates on food sustainability and invites you to take part in a series of fun games and activities looking at your own food choices, opinions and plans for the future.

Play the sustainable diet card game to see how many sustainable food habits you have, vote on which sustainability activities you think are most important, and write your own pledge to share on our 'promises for the planet' wall. Drop by, share your views, and discover achievable ways to make your diet better for both your pocket and the planet!
