Journalist and broadcaster Viv Parry will lead the panel - Professor Julie Fitzpatrick from Moredun, Professor Peter Morgan from the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health and Professor David Hopkins from Heriott Watt University - in an accessible and interactive exploration of the main issues around food security and how science might help secure the future of our food.
