Guardian Journalist and campaigning author Felicity Lawrence leads the Dulwich Festival Debate about the future for Britain's food. Lawrence has set the pace uncovering the scandals around food safety - uncovering the trail of horsemeat across Europe and investigating the links between organised crime and adulterated food. She is joined by Martin Caraher, Professor of Food Policy at City University, Maria Devereaux - sustainable food campaigner and co-founder of local vegbox scheme Local Greens, and Ben Patten from new sustainable food business model, farmdrop.co.uk.

How can you know what you are buying is what it says it is? Is the answer just to buy from farmers' markets and vegbox schemes? And how many people can afford to do that? Can everyone buy local? Or is it just a hobby for affluent foodies? The Dulwich Festival Food panel will be trying to answer a few of the big questions on Friday. How big can Local Food go? If you care about the future of your food, come and join in the conversation?
