Our food chain is full of surprises and our food is handled by people you will most likely never meet. Where did your coffee come from? Who grew your cocoa for your chocolate? Who made your bread? We are about to start a journey together, finding our way through the food systems.
In every step we take, we’ll walk side by side with one of our activists around the world. These are farmers, chefs and everyone in between. These people are all contributing to a more sustainable food system and they try to enhance access to good, clean and fair food. But we will also listen to stories of indigenous culture and knowledge, which can inspire us to think in a different way.
We want to give a stage to the people, whose voices are often not taken into consideration, or who are simply overlooked in the debate around food. We want to demonstrate that we all contribute to a more sustainable food system, that everyone has a story to tell and that there's a lesson in every single one of them.

Slow Food Goes Brussels: Profit over principle? The EU’s export of banned toxic pesticides
In the EU there are a whole host of pesticides that are banned for being too hazardous, either to human health or the environment or both. This means that they cannot be used here. But did you know that these are still produced on EU soil and then exported to other countries, and did you know that the food produced from those pesticides is than imported back into the EU and ends up on our plates? Let’s dive into this, join our final episode of the year with our guests:
Mathilde Dupré, co-director of the Veblen Institute
John Clarke, former director for international relations at the European Commission and former head of the EU Delegation to the World Trade Organization in Geneva
Kara Mackay, campaigns coordinator for the NGO Women on Farms Project in South Africa
Host: Natasha FootePost-production: Jonathan RémyMusic: Leonardo Pietro Durantes and Jonathan Rémy
