Farm to Fork: feeding a continent without wrecking a planet

Show notes

Food production is a sector completely dependent on healthy environment and predictable climatic conditions. At the same time, modern agriculture is among the major contributors to climate and biodiversity crises. In the most recent episode of the “Green Deal—Big Deal?” podcast we ask our expert guests about the food systems approach adopted by the European Commission's “Farm to fork” strategy and investigate how the strategy will impact producers, consumers and the global food markets. We discuss strategies to address food waste and explore why meat is a politically sensitive topic.

Interview guests:

• Lukas Visek (member of cabinet of Franz Timmermans, European Commission)
• Stephanie Wunder (Senior Fellow, Ecologic Institute)
