A wooden box with loose vegetables including tomatoes, turnips and potatoes.

Come and hear from Scotland's young scientists about the latest science on food and climate change. Are cows villains, heroes or innocent bystanders? What's soil got to do it? Why's nitrogen a problem when it's all around us? Lively interactive chat, come and join in.

This session will see around 20 rapid fire contributions from young scientists exploring the links between food and climate change. We'll be looking at the biology behind the numbers, and how the food system can provide enough good food for all while starting to restore nature and help cool the planet. With food systems contributing about 30% of global warming, urgent action is needed and that means changes for everyone - the billions of people whose livelihoods depend on producing food, the companies that get the food from farm to fork, and all of us who need to eat. So we'll also be looking at the science of systems and how they change.

Join us for the live-stream of this event from the Scotland's Climate Ambition Zone.
