Episode 2695:

Nancy Clark explores the pressing global food challenges we'll face by 2050, driven by population growth and climate change. She highlights practical ways individuals can contribute to sustainability, such as reducing food waste, eating less meat, and making informed choices about animal protein. Clark urges us to consider how our everyday actions can have a meaningful impact on the future of food security.

Quotes to ponder:

"Wasted food required energy to be produced and then transported to your supermarket (and landfill). As it rots, creates the greenhouse gas methane."

"Instead of blaming methane-producing farm animals for contributing to climate change, the far bigger sources of GHGE are from the burning of oil, coal, and natural gas."

"We need governments around the world to look holistically at the complex interplay between the environment and food production systems."
