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.
