Hosts Anna Åberg and Ruth Townend are joined by Emma Williams and Richard King to discuss how food systems can be transformed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Food systems contribute to around a third of global emissions and have a substantial impact on a range of other areas too, including biodiversity and human health. Transforming food systems is critical for meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. But how should this be done in practice? To find out, Anna and Ruth speak to Emma Williams (Head of the Secretariat of the Alliance of Champions for Food Systems Transformation, ACF) and Richard King (Senior Research Fellow in the Environment and Society Centre of Chatham House).To learn more about food systems transformation and related areas, please see the following Chatham House outputs:The research paper ‘Aligning food systems with climate and biodiversity targets’, available here.The report ‘The emerging global crisis of land use’, available here.
