Kevin Morgan, Professor of Governance at Cardiff University delivers this lecture on Urban Food Policy. He looks at the rise of the city as a new player in the food policy debate taking the experiences of London, New York, Toronto and distils some of the lessons learned for cities in UK. He talks about the role of cities in the food system and argues that this is one of the most important topics in the debate on sustainability. He discuses how food has moved from the margins to mainstream of our political agendas, gives a 'cooks tour' of what cities are doing in the global north and south, returns to the UK to discuss the rise of the food movement and talks about new forms of food governance which are still below the radar of mainstream politics. His talk takes in developments in Malmo, Sweden, which aims to reinvent a sustainable, cost effective and affordable school meal system, the joint venture undertaken with Bristol, setting up the first Food Policy Council in the UK, the Brighton model which has a turnover of £1million p/a and a permanent paid staff. He ends his talk on the recent launch of the Sustainable Cities Network which helps cities learn good practice as part of peer-to-peer learning, raises the profile as cities as proper actors in food policy debates, and strengthens the voice of cities in these debates in the UK.

Sustainable Manufacturing promotes the creation of products using processes that are non-polluting, conserve energy and natural resources, and are economically sound and safe for employees, communities, and consumers. In this lecture, Professor Anjali De Silva explores how sustainable manufacturing allows industry to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. She draws on her own, and global, research and developments in advanced machining which enhance environmental sustainability by curbing the consumption of vital resources and reducing CO2 and other emissions.

In her lecture, she explores the challenges faced by the construction industry and its focus on producing sustainable, more eco-friendly and cost-effective cementitious materials. The construction industry is faced with an ever-rising demand for safer and more cost-effective infrastructure, as well as more environmentally-friendly products and processes. To meet these expectations, numerous new composite materials with reduced carbon footprint have been developed over the past couple of decades. However, these materials are often very sensitive to environmental conditions and proper curing is essential to enhance their performance. Thanks to their high capacity to absorb and release water, SAPs can help to control cement’s hydration processes and to avoid cracking during the hardening process. Therefore, it can significantly improve the material’s durability and sustainability.

Background reading for coursework to prepare a technical report as part of the orientation phase. These items are business documents (i.e. grey literature) which might be read as a prelude or complement to finding information in peer reviewed academic publications. grey literature links and articles to be used in preparation of technical report.
