Can crises bring about change in our food systems? Recently TABLE's Richard Kipling wrote about how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has exposed the UK food system's reliance on imported fertiliser for the @ox.ac.uk's expert comment news section. buff.ly/SI8OI7a

A quote card from a recent essay written by TABLE’s Richard Kipling for the University of Oxford and reposted to TABLE’s website: “The lesson of the recent crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, of the Covid pandemic and the Ukraine war, is that these external shocks are not sufficient to transform food systems towards more resilient states. This may be a relief to those who support a doubling down on the industrialisation of agriculture or who profit from it, but it should be a concern for those advocating transformation.”
