Welcome to the first episode of the SFYN podcast in 2023! The Slow Food Youth Network, or as we call it SFYN, is a worldwide network of young activists with different backgrounds who want to contribute to a better local and international food system. 
This is a special edition of the SFYN Podcast because it was recorded live during Terra Madre 2022, the biggest Slow Food event and it’s the second chapter of a series of three episodes. In this episode Valentina interviewed Bela Gil. Bela is a famous Brazilian influencer. She holds a master's degree in Gastronomic Sciences from the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Italy (UNISG), with an emphasis on the global food system. She also has a background in food and holistic nutrition, Ayurveda Nutrition, Iridology, Macrobiotics, permaculture and Agroecology. She is a chef and the host of a popular TV program in Brazil. This episode was co-hosted with Dan Saladino, producer at BBC Radio4 “The Food Programme” and author of the book "Eating to Extinction". 
Can we influence the food system with our individual choices?

How can hunger become a manipulative tool for governments?
Can food corporations also play a role in sustainable food systems? 
And much more to find out!
