This Friday - BOOK NOW! Limited tickets!

Mike has just returned from a 4 week solo ski-trek across the sea ice of Melville Bay in northern Greenland eating only a seal for a month; part of an extensive study into how vital seals were to the success of the Inuit in Greenland over 7 thousand years.
The study dives into how an animal's nutrient profile changes over time and how the human body has adapted to metabolise it successfully. The arrival of the ice is vital to the ancient movements of the Inuit and climate change is making it more difficult for them to survive using traditional methods. Mike uses his hands-on experiences to look at how humans have evolved with food over millions of years and how the modern global food system is failing us.

This will be a fascinating evening - get your tickets here >> https://mef.pacemanningtree.org.uk/ -1770716342167
