How to use
You can use the talks to provide a guest speaker in a class at college or university. In some cases, follow-up question and answer sessions can be arranged with the speakers.
Or you may be in a voluntary group concerned with some aspect of food and farming and want a guest speaker to kick off a discussion – again you can use these.
Or you can use these like book groups do – listen or watch one or more of them and come together to discuss then and your responses.
Or you are just interested – watch, learn and enjoy.
Use the follow-up materials. Every talk has it's own page where the speakers provides ideas for further reading or websites you might like to check out.
