What changes should be implemented in the food system over the next five years? The food system plays a crucial role in human health, sustainability, and security. In this insightful discussion, Christina Hicks from Lancaster University engages with Johan Rockström of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research to explore actionable strategies for improving our food systems.

Hicks and Rockström highlight the need to rethink subsidies, acknowledging their potential negative impacts while advocating for a transition towards policies that promote sustainable farming practices. They stress the importance of aligning financial incentives with environmental and social goals. A key takeaway from their conversation is recognizing that those who contribute the least to the climate crisis often face the greatest barriers to accessing a diverse and nutritious diet.

This dialogue emphasizes the urgency of systemic change within the food sector to address inequalities and enhance sustainability. By fostering collaboration across society, we can create a more equitable and resilient food system. Join us as we uncover the vital steps needed to reshape our food landscape for the better.
