My guest week is Claudia Lee, a journalist and podcaster on sustainable food systems. In this episode, she talks about:
- How the food system needs to navigate the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, plastic and chemical pollution and food security
- Why tackling food waste is critical, with pioneering cases like Rice Inc in China; I also share my revolutionary idea to radically cut restaurant and hotel food waste
- The health benefits of plant-based diets and the environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture and cultivated (or cultured) meat
- The role of technology in making agriculture more sustainable, including indoor farming, precision agriculture and agro-bots
- Why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may not all be bad and how they should be judged on their impacts
