Description

This year the SFYN podcast is hosting a new series all dedicated to the European policy in terms of food and agriculture. The series will be conducted by Slow Food Europe, which is in charge of involving Slow Food in the political debate on the European level. The special host of this series is Alice Poiron, communication officer at Slow Food Europe. The topics touched will be in line with the most updated and relevant debates around food and agriculture in Europe. 
Today we kick off the series with the topic of new GMOs! What are new GMOs? How do they differ from the old GMOs? What are the latest decisions of the EU on the matter? 
The guests of today are:
Elisa D’Aloisio, peasant farmer at the European Coordination Via Campesina with a PhD in genetics and practical expertise in GMOs
Martin Sommer, policy coordinator at IFOAM Organics Europe, the association for organic food and farming in Europe
Madeleine Coste, Policy Officer at Slow Food Europe

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. 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. — Production by Slow Food Youth Network Hosted by Valentina Gritti Music by Leonardo Prieto Dorantes
