FFS 049 - Where I stand on food today
August 26, 2021 16:10 - 50 minutes - 40.5 MBTo mark 50 episodes on the podcast, I share my own evolving thoughts on food. I reflect on the state of agriculture and on what sustainability might mean in the food movement today. My experience over the last half decade engaging with the food movement has been that debates are all too often reduced to soundbites on social media. Complex arguments are reduced to 280 characters on Twitter, angry posts on Facebook, and rants on YouTube. We're talking past each other. That's unhelpful. By...
FFS 048 - Meat and Shame: an appetite for change
May 13, 2021 17:31 - 42 minutes - 34.3 MBGuilt and shame are deeply present in our relationship with food. How do we harness these emotions for good? When it comes to eating animals, can guilt and shame positively influence our behaviour or those of corporations to reduce our environmental foodprint? We are joined by Dr. Jennifer Jacquet - Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at NYU. Jennifer does interdisciplinary research on globalized environmental problems, including the wildlife trade, fisheries...
FFS 047 - Soy: a destructive wonderbean
February 17, 2021 23:56 - 1 hour - 52.3 MBFrom its more humble origins to its modern-day status as a dominant yet destructive wonderbean, the story of soy concerns us all. Soy is much more than tofu or tempeh. It's a global commodity crop: the driving force of animal agriculture and a hidden fuel of growing importance for our cars. In this episode, we deep dive with Dr. Christine M. Du Bois into the history of soy and the vital role it continues to play in our lives. Christine M. Du Bois is a former co-manager of the ...
FFS 046 - Will the EU CAPitulate?
December 16, 2020 01:24 - 57 minutes - 45.8 MBThe EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has become Europe’s problem child. Vested interests behind one of the Union’s oldest policies threaten to derail Europe’s ambitious new climate, biodiversity and food strategies. In this episode, we deep dive into the controversial CAP - over €350 billion of taxpayer money spent on European farming - and discuss if there is still any hope in reforming a policy that continues to baffle and disappoint many of Europe’s citizens, farmers, and sci...
FFS 045 - The Future of Protein
August 01, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBWhat is the future of protein, and of animal agriculture? Can we raise animals sustainably or should we move beyond meat? To feed a growing world population, we need protein. For many, protein means meat. As our reliance on animal products grows, so does its destructive impact on the natural world. Mass deforestation, biodiversity loss, and significant greenhouse gas emissions of livestock put our dietary habits into the spotlight. In this panel discussion, I am joined by Nathalie Rollan...
FFS 044 - The Ground Zero Ingredient
March 08, 2020 13:54 - 41 minutes - 32.9 MBEverything begins with a seed. Seeds are both a story of loss and a story of hope in our food system. On the one hand, we are rapidly losing seed diversity, and with it, perhaps the single best weapon agriculture has to withstand an increasingly volatile climate. When we lose biodiversity, we lose our ability to be resilient. What (or who) is causing this loss? On the other, seeds are central to resistance and hope. From seed saving, sharing and storing to embracing indigenous farming pr...
FFS 043 - Bodies on the Line
January 26, 2020 22:59 - 40 minutes - 32.8 MB2019 was the year of climate strikes. Animal rights activists, emboldened by a new wave of mass civil disobedience, are determined to end industrial animal agriculture. Millions of ordinary people took to the streets in 2019. They put their bodies on the line, engaging in mass civil disobedience to demand climate action. In an era where food is produced in factory farms with an immeasurable scale of suffering and destruction, what role should animal rights activists play in the transitio...
FFS 042 - Finding our Common Ground
December 16, 2019 22:00 - 53 minutes - 43.1 MBTo transcend infighting in the food movement, finding our common ground is as important as targeting our common enemy. The food movement is amazingly diverse. From personal health and animal rights to protecting worker’s rights and precious ecosystems, our why’s for wanting to radically transform our food system widely differ. So do our tactics and our strategies. That diversity may just be the food movement's greatest strength, yet it also risks being its biggest weakness. Infightin...
FFS 041 - On the Frontlines of Food
February 23, 2019 22:07 - 50 minutes - 40.5 MBThe continued expansion of industrial-scale chemical-intensive agriculture around the world relies on one central powerful myth: only industrial agriculture can feed the world. Timothy A. Wise - author of Eating Tomorrow - joins us to discuss why, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, governments continue to invest in a model of farming that is devouring the natural resources on which future food production depends. By choosing the path of industrial agriculture today, we are,...
FFS 040 - Factory Farmed Superbugs
January 19, 2019 15:44 - 55 minutes - 44.7 MBWe are on the cusp of a post-antibiotic era. The golden age of miracle drugs may be coming to an end. To understand why, award-winning author Maryn McKenna joins us on the show to discuss the long intertwined history of antibiotics and industrial animal agriculture. We discuss: What antibiotic resistance is and why it’s ‘the greatest slow-brewing health crisis of our time’ Why bacteria are winning and why Big Pharma are dragging their feet The birth of antibiotics and how it enable...
FFS 039 - The Invisible "ABCD" Giants and the Financialisation of Food
December 18, 2018 18:26 - 50 minutes - 40.8 MBFour grain trading giants - collectively known as the ABCDs - dominate international grain trade in our global food system. Knowing who they are and what they do is vital to understand the whys and hows of our modern food supply. A key branch of ABCD power and influence are their financial subsidiaries. Financialisation in the food system today has widespread and alarming implications. Local food movements, farmers and consumers must take heed of these global forces, or risk being crowded...
FFS 038 - The Fuel Empowering Kenyan Farmers
November 23, 2018 17:04 - 40 minutes - 32.5 MBThe global fertiliser market is a $200 billion industry. But who does it serve? Produced in large-scale, centralised facilities in developed countries, conventional fertilisers are neither cheap nor reliably accessible for rural smallholder farmers in emerging markets in Africa and India. Safi Organics in Kenya has a vision to decentralise and downsize fertiliser production. Using recycled waste from local farms, carbon-negative organic biochar fertilisers empower farmers by making their...
FFS 037 - The Dirty History of Soil
November 02, 2018 17:57 - 53 minutes - 43.2 MBWhen we stop treating dirt like dirt, when we accept it’s neither ‘dirt cheap’ nor ‘dirt poor’, we will come to realise it is the most precious resource we have. Treat dirt, or soil, the way you want to be treated. In this episode, David R. Montgomery joins us to talk about how soil has shaped the course of civilisations. From the Classical Greeks and the Romans to the Maya civilisation – the story of soil and its mistreatment has been central to explaining why civilisations collapse. Th...
FFS 036 - Chicken Nugget Capitalism
October 18, 2018 18:36 - 49 minutes - 39.7 MBThe end of Capitalism is nigh. Or we should certainly hope so. Raj Patel makes a convincing case for the urgent need to think beyond capitalism if we are to move towards a zero-carbon economy. “Let us recognise that the system itself is dooming us and that we need to think outside it rather than within it” – Raj Patel. If this sounds revolutionary, that’s precisely the point. Raj and I discuss: Why we shouldn’t call this era the “Anthropocene” What Capitalism actually is The front...
FFS 035 - Monsanto on Trial
October 05, 2018 09:31 - 22 minutes - 18.2 MBMonsanto has been found guilty in the world’s first-ever court case over claims its Roundup herbicide causes cancer.

FFS 034 - Wizards and Prophets
September 22, 2018 12:36 - 50 minutes - 40.4 MBAre you a Wizard or a Prophet? Two largely forgotten 20th century thinkers – Norman Borlaug and William Vogt – continue to shape our competing visions of the future of our planet. In this episode, we talk to Charles C. Mann, award-winning author of The Wizard and the Prophet, about these remarkable scientists and their lasting influence. Borlaug – the Wizard – is a Nobel-winning scientist who kickstarted the agricultural ‘Green Revolution’, while Vogt – the Prophet – laid the found...
FFS 033 - A Case for Eating Meat
September 07, 2018 14:19 - 39 minutes - 31.7 MBWhat role can livestock play in a sustainable food system?

In this episode, we discuss: Why widely quoted figures on livestock’s impact on the environment are misleading: from feed conversion ratios to water use to greenhouse gas emissions. How a ‘default livestock diet’ makes ecological sense The uncertainties and potential...
FFS 032 - The Last Acceptable Prejudice
July 10, 2018 15:25 - 34 minutes - 27.6 MBThe urban-rural divide is more pronounced than ever. The 'last acceptable prejudice' - that against rural people and places - is not only real, it is destructive. As in our politics, the debates around food and sustainability are increasingly polarised. Conventional agriculture is pitted against organic agriculture, vegans face-off against carnivores, urban city-dwellers clash with countrymen and women. How do we bridge these divides? In this episode, we talk to Ash Bruxvoort about thei...

FFS 026 - We Need To Talk About Monsanto
February 04, 2018 00:53 - 44 minutes - 36 MBOver the past decade, Monsanto has become a pop cultural bogeyman. Surrounded by controversy, cover-ups, and conspiracies, the agricultural giant is for many the face of corporate evil. At the same time, the company continues to deliver commercial success. Reporting record sales, the world’s largest seed company shows no signs of slowing down. In this episode, we talk with Carey Gillam, veteran investigative journalist and author of Whitewash: The story of a Weed Killer, Cancer and the C...

FFS 024 - The Soilution: saving soil, saving ourselves
December 26, 2017 17:54 - 49 minutes - 39.8 MBIn the Age of People, the plow was, and remains, one of the most destructive inventions. In his new book Growing A Revolution, award-winning author David R. Montgomery calls on farmers to ditch the plow, bring back cover crops, and grow for diversity. Such an agricultural revolution puts soil health at the center of farming. It transforms agriculture from a destructive practice that is very much part of the problem to a major solution that combats climate change. In this episode, we talk...
FFS 023 - COP23: Is meat finally on the table?
December 01, 2017 17:05 - 26 minutes - 21.6 MBAs the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) comes to a close in Bonn, Switzerland, where do we stand on our climate commitments?

In this episode, we welcome back Mark Pershin on the podcast, founder and CEO of Less Meat Less Heat, an organization committed...
FFS 022 - The Bird is the Word
November 16, 2017 17:33 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBThis year for Thanksgiving, Americans will consume 46 million turkeys. Factory farming has never been more 'efficient'. This same year, the US has consumed 9 billion chickens. Worldwide, we managed to eat 50 billion. How does this system function? What makes it so effective and profitable? It all comes down to one word: genetics. Since the 1950s, heritage breeds of poultry, or standard-bred poultry, have been gradually replaced by an army of uniform hybrid birds. Bred to grow as large as...
FFS 021 - My Beef with Veganism
October 31, 2017 23:23 - 38 minutes - 31.2 MBIn this episode, I talk about my beef with Veganism. I explain why, after a 30-day vegan challenge, I remain a sceptical vegetarian. I talk about: How Vegan-endorsed health hypes and food fads create their own ethical dilemmas which vegans need to confront How the ‘Go Vegan, save the planet’ discourse is unhelpful for the movement, and factually questionable. How Veganism needs to move away from a self-understanding as the movement, and instead embrace its place as a movement among many (...
FFS 020 - Optimising the Food Economy with Blockchain
October 22, 2017 14:20 - 46 minutes - 37.2 MBLike the combustion engine, the telephone, and the Internet before it, blockchain has the potential to transform how human society functions.

FFS 017 - When Farming Goes Vertical
June 25, 2017 01:07 - 49 minutes - 39.6 MBAs cities and populations grow, and the space to feed them shrinks, one proposed solution is to farm upwards rather than outwards, indoors instead of outdoors, in urban spaces as opposed to rural ones.

Nina is currently pursuing her PhD, focusing on a comparative study of veganism as a cultural practice in the US, France, and Israel. She is ...
FFS 014 - Blue is the new Green
April 29, 2017 13:28 - 34 minutes - 28.1 MBFeeding future generations simply won’t work without addressing the food we get from our oceans. Oceans serve as our main source of animal protein, with over 2.6 billion people depending on it every day. How we’ll be able to continue sourcing from our oceans however is the million-dollar question. Overfishing has plundered our oceans, pushing fish stocks and other marine life to the brink of collapse. Seafood farming—also known as aquaculture— is one alternative. It’s the fastest growing...
FFS 013 - How Plants Domesticated Humans
April 22, 2017 17:35 - 24 minutes - 19.7 MBHave the crops of today bent us to their will? Is corn king? Does our agricultural system still make sense, and can it in its current form cater to the needs of future generations? Are we smarter than a potato? In this episode, we explore how certain crops such as wheat, rice, potato, maize (corn) and soy have come to dominate our landscapes, labour, economic policy and health.

FFS 009 - Stop Generalising GMOs
March 07, 2017 16:10 - 38 minutes - 30.7 MBAre ‘GMOs’ good or bad? Are they safe to eat? Are they symbolic of what is wrong with our food system? According to plant geneticist Pamela Ronald, such generalisations make little scientific sense and do nothing to advance discussions on sustainable agriculture. This week, we talk ‘GMOs’ with Pamela Ronald from the University of California Davis. Pam and her colleagues have received a number of awards for their work on submergence-tolerant rice. She’s also very well known for her pragmati...

FFS 002 - The Carbon Food Tax
January 09, 2017 09:00 - 27 minutes - 22.3 MBTaxing food with high carbon emissions seems like a rational, reasonable, and feasible step that governments should take. It seems like the logical thing to do. Raise the price, lower the demand. Tax food, reduce climate change. Or does it? I talk with Dr. Ariane Kehlbacher from the University of Reading about introducing a carbon food tax to combat the negative effects our diets can have on the environment. We first discuss the theory behind the tax, before delving into the issues th...
