Very excited to be taking part in two events at the Melting Pot festival win Czechia.

Taking part in three events.

Discussion panel at the FT Weekend Festival with butcher and author Jessica Wragg, restaurateur and writer Tim Hayward and restaurateur Huw Gott.

Speaking and Chairing. "On day two we explore food, farming, health and the environment. We are excited to welcome the philosopher Julian Baggini to discuss the ideas in his forthcoming book How the World Eats.

Philosopher Julian Baggini has for two decades demystified the role of philosophy in public life, discussing in clear and easy-to-understand terms the principles behind some of our modern dilemmas. In How The World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy, he examines how the choices we make about what to eat influence the way we live, with most of us now relying on a global web of food production, distribution, consumption and disposal.

Throughout history and across the world, human beings have fed themselves in many different ways. Yet as Julian shows, with the help of myriad experts, there are principles for a global food philosophy that all good food systems share. As we face the challenge of feeding a growing planet, we need to understand what these principles are and how to apply them in the 21st century. 

Join philosopher Julian Baggini, MP and biographer of Burke Jesse Norman and Thangam Debbonaire for a deep dive into the nature of democracy in which you, the audience, will also have a say.

In her two most recent books, acclaimed American Philosopher Myisha Cherry has written about the positive uses of anger and the failures of forgiveness in public and political life. In a polarised world in which civility seems to be in decline, is there really a case for rage and against forgiveness?

Julian Baggini will talk about his new book which examines how our food choices shape our lives and societies. He will explore diverse global food practices and the urgent challenges facing our food systems today including cutting-edge technologies like GM foods, cultured meat, and the ethics of ultra-processed foods.

How does the food we eat shape our lives? Philosopher and author Julian Baggini joins us in the bookshop to answer this very question.

Join us for an evening of philosophy as Julia Baggini guides us through How the World Eats, his attempt to develop a global food philosophy.

In How The World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy, Baggini examines how the choices we make about what to eat influence the way we live, with most of us now relying on a global web of food production, distribution, consumption and disposal.
