Sam Preston - NGFP board member and visionary!

SAM PRESTON BEHAVIOUR CHANGE OFFICER, NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL AND NGFP BOARD MEMBER

Hello and welcome to our weekly NGFP Local Lunch podcast trailer where we provide you, our lovely listeners everything you need to know about Nottingham’s local food heroes and how you can get more involved in our vibrant local food scene!

Local lunch is brought to you by me Shona Munro and me Penney Poyzer of Nottingham Good Food Partnership the go to organisation for sustainable food in our fair city.

This week our guest is Sam Preston. Sam is behaviour change officer at Nottingham City Council and an NGFP board member. Sam is also a Roosevelt Scholar and she will be telling us about the highlights (of which there are many) of her trip to the USA last autumn when she visited sustainable food projects across the country.

Now it was very recently announced by EDIE the influential on line environmental news organisation that a panel of judges had selected 30 young people under 30 who they think are the sustainability visionaries of 2020 - and our Sam is one of them - so we look forward to hearing more about that.

We will talk about what could work here and also about the many projects that we work on together - including the city council’s carbon neutral 2028 vision and why the inclusion of the local food system is so critical 

So tune in this Friday at 1.30pm. Simply search for NGFP Local Lunch on your browser and we will pop up!

See you then!
