Lunch Tour: The Royal’s Food Journey
It’s all well and good to discuss nutrition – but this nourishment comes from access to food, provided by the complex network of people that make up the food system. This year, a tour component will be added to the Food and Nutrition Forum, introducing guests to farmers and food producers working throughout the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.
