SUMMARY:Feeding the Hamlets: Exploring the History of Food Production in the Borough
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition uses the unique collections of Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives as a lens through which to explore the borough’s history of producing food. \nFor centuries\, the East End’s landscape and social and economic history have been influenced by the growing\, trading or manufacturing of food. Before 1800 farmland and market gardens characterised the area\, but rapid industrialisation saw this pastoral tradition give way to the factories and warehouses producing food for mass consumption nationwide and globally. Close proximity to the docks ensured that food businesses based in the East End had ready access to a fresh supply of raw ingredients\, within many supplies imported from countries colonised by Britain. \nPhotographs\, deeds\, plans\, minutes\, illustrations and maps are among the many unique items selected by staff.  These sources illustrate fascinating and lesser-known tales from the history of food production in the East End – from flour milling and sugar refining to cow-keeping and vegetable growing. \nThe exhibition looks at the methods and sites where food production took place\, as well as the people who were involved. A programme of free events is taking place to explore the exhibition’s themes in more detail. \nFeeding the Hamlets will run until early 2023. If you would like to bring a group or class for a tour or workshop inspired by the display\, please get in touch at localhistory@towerhamlets.gov.uk \nFor Opening times and dates\, click here

SUMMARY:Mapping the Food Supply Chain for Disadvantaged Communities in the UK
DESCRIPTION:Despite many efforts by the government and citizens of the United Kingdom to address food insecurity and poverty\, available data on diet-related health\, food quality\, affordability and accessibility indicate the situation to be worsening. The effects of recent events such as the country’s final exit from the European Union\, the COVID19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have further accentuated this. \nEmmanuel will discuss the role logistics and supply chain management could play in addressing this challenge by presenting a map of the food supply chain that serves disadvantaged consumers to identify the infrastructure\, processes\, key challenges and supply chain solutions. \nSpeaker Bio \nDr Emmanuel Sawyerr has expertise in supply chain resilience\, procurement\, supply chain excellence in developing countries\, sustainable supply chain management and food supply chains. He obtained his PhD at the Westminster Business School\, University of Westminster\, London. He has lectured at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels on subjects such as Sustainable Global Growth\, Sustainable Business\, Operations and Digital Business\, Project Management among others. Presently\, Emmanuel works as a Research Fellow in the Centre for Logistics\, Procurement and Supply Chain Management at Cranfield University’s School of Management where he is providing supply chain expertise on the BBSRC-funded Food Systems Equality project.
