\"\"<\/a>The 24th<\/sup> of April marked an extraordinary day for HallamFood, with a plethora of enriching events and extra-curricular development activities co-designed by students and academics. This was a testament to collaboration, innovation and a shared passion for all things related to food and nutrition!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We kickstarted the morning with the \u201cFood Z\u201d All Student Conference 2024<\/strong>. This year, the conference explored topics essential to Gen Z and was delivered by 3 fabulous speakers. Selina Treuherz <\/strong>from ShefFood<\/a> addressed on Fairer, Healthier, Greener: Developing Local Food Policy in Sheffield. Nicola Davies<\/strong> from New Food Innovation<\/a> talked about Plant-based Food Innovation. Jessica Martin<\/strong> from Inspired Global Cuisine addressed on Food Access in the Cost of Living Crisis. Their invaluable insights truly shed light on pressing societal challenges and discussions on potential solutions, inspiring us to make a positive impact. During the short coffee break, we sampled delicious entries from the Baking Competition hosted by the Food and Nutrition Society (FANs).<\/p>\n

Lead Organiser: Jenny Paxman, Food and Nutrition Subject Group Leader<\/p>\n

Following up next was our Level 6 Farewell Event <\/strong>for Food and Nutrition\/Human Nutrition and Health\/Nutrition, Diet and Wellbeing students. Together, they gathered to reflect on their incredible academic journey, celebrate their achievements and forge lasting connections with each other. There was also an informal prize giving among students. A huge congratulations to those who were nominated!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We also had professional bodies IFST and NS membership events<\/strong>. The IFST<\/a> event focused on the food industry competencies, including the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for a career in the food industry. For the Nutrition Society<\/a> event, we are proud to have CEO Mark Hollingsworth<\/strong> presenting leadership and visions throughout nutrition, building sustainable networks as well as fostering member engagement.<\/p>\n

Finally, was the highly anticipated Annual Discourse and Networking Event<\/strong> organised by SHUFood<\/a>, an esteemed alliance comprising CHEFS<\/strong>, SHARe<\/strong>, and SWEFS<\/strong>.
