In this episode of Real Zero, hosts Professor Hugh Montgomery and Dr. Daniel Grant are joined by Paul Newnham — global climate expert and head of the SDG2 Advocacy Hub, Chef’s Manifesto, and host of the Future Fork podcast. Together, they dive into the critical intersection of climate change and global food systems, exploring how rising temperatures, unpredictable weather, and resource scarcity are putting farmers — especially in less developed regions — on the knife-edge of survival.
The conversation highlights the paradox of our current food system: we overproduce and waste staggering amounts of food while many still go hungry. The discussion focuses on sustainable solutions, including the need for more efficient and economic food production, adopting more plant-based diets (without necessarily going fully vegan), and the benefits of eating locally produced food.
Tune in for an engaging and eye-opening discussion on how we can rethink our relationship with food to secure a healthier planet and future for everyone.
