Govanhill residents needed for research about food policies in Glasgow on 5 and 6 October

In the CO-designing for healthy People and Planet: food Economic policy Research (COPPER) project we are interested in ways to change the price of food to make it easier to eat healthier food that is better for the planet. We are particularly interested in food subsidies (that make certain foods cheaper) and taxes (that make certain foods more expensive).

We are looking for volunteers, aged 18 or over to participate in a type of workshop called a deliberative forum. Participants must be resident in the UK, able to participate in discussion in English, and live local to Govanhill, Glasgow. The deliberative forum would take two days of your time (within school hours) on the 5th and 6th October 2023. You would be asked to watch video evidence about different food subsidy and tax policies, and then decide with other participants which policies you prefer and state the reasons for this. Participants will receive compensation at the rate of minimum wage for their involvement and we cover the cost of their travel to the venue.

If you are interested and would like more information please contact Dr Hannah Forde at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, on +44(0)1865 617879 (available Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm) or email hannah.forde@phc.ox.ac.uk. There is no obligation to take part.
