Our Panel of Experts comprises people from outside the city who can advise us from time to time. It’s a means for us to be up to date on relevant matters and have a sounding board on matters of mutual concern. It’s also an opportunity for Panel members to hear about what a major UK city is doing on food matters, particularly at a strategic level.
We’re delighted that Roberta Friedman and Lisa Jack have joined the Panel.
Roberta Friedman, ScM is Director of Public Policy at the University of Connecticut’s Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity.
She educates federal, state and local policy makers and advocacy organisations about food policy and obesity research, and creates resources to help them write and implement effective obesity prevention policies.

Lisa Jack is Professor in Accounting at Portsmouth Business School.
