The Conduit Food Systems Community Drinks – Tuesday 12th November 2024

Join our supporters The Conduit – a members club for social impact – for Food Systems networking drinks on Tuesday 12th November! Meet the burgeoning community committed to creating a sustainable, just and prosperous future for food. 

Our co-founder Mex Ibrahim is a member at impact community The Conduit & through a LinkedIn Group – The Food Systems Community is helping to bring together all those committed to a more sustainable future for the food industry.  Conduit members are entrepreneurs, investors, creatives, business leaders, activists, civil-society leaders and policymakers, bringing together knowledge, networks and capital for sustained positive impact. They have clubs in London and Oslo.

The networking drinks on 12th November are a great way to find out more about how The Conduit team are working to find the most sustainable ingredients and food suppliers for the club itself and its rooftop restaurant Rucola.  Plus a great way to network with anyone interested in food systems and how they can be improved. Thanks to all who  have attended these first of these networking drinks which we hold monthly and began in May 2024. Find out more about our last networking drinks in October. 

The events are a great chance to exchange ideas with like minded food people & discuss key issues facing the food industry and overall food systems when it comes to sustainable food.

We will be meeting in the Ubuntu Lounge on the 3rd Floor (see above). You will also meet Beth Chamberlain from The Conduit’s membership team to chat about how they are working to source new sustainable suppliers & organising various related food events eg their Sustainable Food Events during London Climate Action Week.

Food suppliers at The Conduit include Neal’s Yard Dairy, Citizens of Soil, South Coast Fisheries, Lake District Farmers in Cumbria, Natoora and  supplier Angry Monk who supply surplus “imperfect” fruit & veg to The Conduit. Instead of the vegetables going into a landfill to be wasted, by working with Angry Monk those ingredients are salvaged effectively. They are sourcing non-seasonal, non-local ingredients, (eg mangoes), but in a sustainable way.

The Conduit often host great free members events that are relevant to sustainable food. For example coming up on 11th November is a members event – Nourishing People & Planet.

“Our food systems are a significant driver of greenhouse gas emissions, intensifying the climate crisis. Meanwhile climate change disrupts food production, lowers crop yields, and depletes nutrient quality—disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities.

Join The Conduit as we explore innovative solutions to these issues and the vital intersections between food systems, social justice, gender empowerment and climate resilience, to build a more equitable and hunger-free world.”

Our Networking Drinks event on 12th November is free, drinks are available to buy from the bar at a special 20% discount.

If you haven’t already don’t forget to join the Conduit Food Systems Community LinkedIn Group to find out about more interesting food events taking place at The Conduit and beyond.
