Food for Good
Can changing farming systems and our diets improve our own health, and that of animals? How do we feed a growing population without impacting climate change? What are the tangible and actionable solutions? These are just some of the pressing questions we will be addressing in our new podcast based on our highly readable new book, Regenerative Farming and Sustainable Diets: Human, Animal and Planetary Health published by Routledge. In a series of monthly ‘long listens’ and ‘weekly ruminations’, Food for Good discusses the urgent need for change. You will hear from academics, change-makers and thought leaders across the world about the need for radical transformation of the food system making a strong case for an urgent move away from industrial agriculture towards regenerative farming and the promotion of more plant-based diets. You’ll hear in-depth discussions about the role of intensive agriculture along with voices from the front line of farming, food companies, radical thinking and system change. Currently, more than 92 billion land animals are used for food, most of which are reared industrially in conditions that compromise their welfare. At the same time more than three billion people can’t afford healthy diets, two billion people are overweight or obese and more than 780 million people go hungry whilst nearly one‑third of all food produced is lost or wasted. There is clearly something wrong with our food system but there is hope. Through joined-up thinking from leading authors, business and thinkers alike, our podcast will explore the art of the possible. Regenerative Farming and Sustainable Diets: Human, Animal and Planetary Health is published by Routledge. It is available to buy in hardback and paperback. Given the importance of the content, the editors and publishers have agreed to offer an Open Access eBook which you can download on this page Click here for more information on Compassion in World Farming.
