Description

Time for EU food policy! In this episode, Slow Food Europe talks about climate!
Few weeks ago, world leaders met in Glasgow for the COP26! Alas, this crucial international summit on climate change ended with a disappointing agreement, just when the expectations of civil society, young people, indigenous peoples, and all those affected by the climate emergency were highest. What’s more, despite causing approximately 30% of all atmospheric carbon, there was little said about food and farming.
Now that the COP26 is behind us and that dust has settled, let’s take a step back! Was the COP26 a success? What was decided about food and farming? Where does the EU stand in all this, and what is the EU’s way forward on climate change ? We answer all these questions with our three guests:
Shane Holland, executive director of Slow Food in the UK
Chantal Clément, Deputy Director of IPES-Food (the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems)
Tim Mc Phie, European Commission Spokesperson for Climate Action and Energy

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
