Description

As we gear up for the winter in the northern hemisphere, the need to stay warm and eat well is pressing - but in 2022, there are global pressures working against us.

Russia invaded Ukraine, and the subsequent restrictions on exports from both of those countries is being felt in terms of fuel costs - but also food costs. At the same time, this year has seen droughts and flooding which have affected global food production, as well as continuing restrictions around covid and economic activity.

All of these factors are working together to increase food insecurity.

Our Guests;
Sheryl Hendricks, professor of food security at the University of Pretoria
Renzo Guinto, chief planetary doctor at PH Lab
Tim Benton, director of the Environment and Society Programme at Chatham House.
