Advisory Panel
The Advisory Panel is made up of people from across the food system with extensive experience of the issues we are tackling. We have asked them to review our work as it progresses; to provide strong independent challenge; to introduce us to people we should be talking to; and to point us towards things we should be reading.
We want to ensure that no stone is left unturned and that our ideas are examined from every angle. We don’t expect panel members to agree on everything. Indeed, we would be surprised if they did. But by subjecting our work to the toughest scrutiny, the advisory panel will test our ideas and make them better.
