TABLE’s mission: ingredients for better dialogue. TABLE is a food systems platform that sets out the evidence, assumptions and values that people bring to debates about resilient and sustainable food futures. They explore the data, the biases and the beliefs behind those debates in order to support better dialogue, decision making and action.
TABLE is for everyone with an interest in food. Acting as an interface between the worlds of research and practice, our work reflects and interrogates real and relevant food system debates. We are in constant dialogue with people working within the food system, including civil society, policymakers, advocates, and practitioners.
TABLE puts together many resources that can be useful to Dietitians and Nutritionists, such as explainers, blog posts, podcasts, letterbox series, other publications in their resource library, and a list of events and job opportunities.
- Feed: A Food Systems Podcast by TABLE: Debates about the future of food have become more polarised than ever – and little attention is paid to why people hold genuinely different views. This podcast aims to fill this gap by exploring the evidence, worldviews, and values that people bring to global food system debates. This series features individuals who are passionate about the food system right now and into the future.
- They have a page in Spanish: TABLE es MESA en América Latina.
- Another useful resource for busy people is their summary series which break down some of their explainers into a brief format.
TABLE was created in collaboration with the University of Oxford, building on the work of the Food Climate Research Network; the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), via the SLU Future Food platform; and Wageningen University & Research, and then expanded to include la Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and Cornell CALS (USA).
