In this episode of the Transforming Society podcast, Rebecca Megson-Smith speaks to Arve Hansen, Ulrikke Wethal, Sophia Efstathiou and Johannes Volden, editors of the special issue of Consumption and Society called ‘Towards Less Meat-intensive Diets? Exploring Everyday Practices of Meat Consumption, Reduction and Substitution’.
They discuss the pressing need for us to reconsider our relationship with meat, particularly in light of its significant impact on climate change. Whilst our attachment to a meat-centric plate is a relatively modern phenomenon it has quickly taken hold in culture and national identity.
The editors share their insights on the need for policies and procedures to be put in place in order for people to feel plantification is achievable, both financially and in terms of cooking skills. As they discuss, the benefits to personal and global health in making these changes are however sizeable.
