PPF: Food. Who's helping?
Monday, 29 April, 2024
What would it take to make the global food system healthier, fairer, and more environmentally restorative? Hi, I am Roger Robson-Williams, Chief Sustainability Officer at Plant & Food Research. I am delighted to start my People | Planet | Food series in conversation with two remarkable leaders from opposite sides of the planet working on exactly this issue. In this episode I am speaking to Sue Pritchard, the Chief Executive of the UK’s Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, and Angela Clifford, the Chief Executive of Eat New Zealand. Sue also has an organic livestock farm in Wales and Angela has a permaculture farm in North Canterbury. We unpack what their organisations are doing to connect citizens with where their food comes from. We discuss emerging threats to food system resilience. And we explore what individual citizens can do to ensure we have healthy people living on a healthy planet and eating healthy food.
