At HW Fisher, we’re lucky enough to work with clients who are leading the conversation in food and sustainability. To glean a window into the future of food, we brought together an expert panel at the V&A in London - including urban farmers, renowned chefs and restaurateurs, suppliers and world leading academics - for a fascinating debate on what we can do to build a more sustainable future food system.
