What’s stopping us creating a more sustainable food system? by Agrifood for Net Zero Podcast published on 2023-05-17T16:12:00Z In this episode we’re asking – what’s holding the UK food system back from making the scale of change needed to tackle the climate crisis, and where should we focus research to help unlock it? We’re at the AFN Network+ Big Tent conference in Leeds, delving into some possible future scenarios and what a net zero agrifood system would look like under each. We talk to Daniel Zeichner, Labour’s shadow Defra minister, Tim Benton, our co-lead and a professor of population ecology and sustainable food systems at Leeds University and former UK Champion for Global Food Security, plus farmers, chefs, researchers, and ecologists. Asking the questions is Jez Fredenburgh, knowledge exchange fellow at AFN Network+, based at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change, and an agrifood journalist.
