Keeping food safe while decarbonising our world

Listen to our podcast

The COVID-19 pandemic has put a lot on hold – but tackling the threat to our climate can’t wait. How can we feed the world sustainably whilst also decarbonising it?

Across two ThinkIns in partnership with Tortoise Media, we joined an esteemed panel of experts to help find the answers.

In the podcast, we discuss how to radically reduce carbon emissions from materials and processes used in a wide range of industries that have critical value to people. We also address the challenges of feeding a growing population in a time of protectionism, climate change and social distance. To strike a balance between people and planet, while overhauling business-as-usual for the sake of forests, oceans, and the climate.
