The Real Food Festival is, as its name suggests, all about getting serious about food and the organisers don't seem to be going about it half-heartedly, promising to ‘change your eating habits forever'. Their agenda is to lead the debate on the quality and sustainability of food production.There will be many a hot discussion at the show with topics including ‘Putting ethics to the test: can we afford real food in today's economic climate?' and ‘The Future of Food: A perfect storm of climate change, diminishing soil and water resources, peak oil and population growth?' Speakers include the likes of Zac Goldsmith and Patrick Holden.
So apart from enjoying a good food debate what else can you see? Well, you can watch a few master chefs whip up a real food storm, take part in a hands-on workshop, mingle with producers and learn what good food really tastes like - fresh, chemical free and filled with nutrients.The Real Food Festival runs from the 8th to the 10th of May 2009 and will be held at Earls Court 1, London. Tickets are £8 on the Friday and £14.90 on Saturday or Sunday. Children under 15 enter free. Call 0844 412 4642 to book.
