Hi Zali. Whilst it’s great you’re leaning in on the food system issues it’s way more complex than you think. 1) These ‘solutions’ are not looking upstream enough and don’t address the systemic issues. In fact they perpetuate the problem… 🔽

Did you know switching one pack of mince per week for a plant based alternative saves around 48kg of CO2 emissions? That’s around 196km in your average car. Warringah constituent Nick Hazel, CEO of @v2foodofficial, is helping Australians make the transition to plant based meat.

terrific new paper by Michael Fakhri offers an insider's account of the UN Food Systems Summit, a huge, ambitious, & expensive endeavor whose real innovation was obfuscation: an "inter-corporate contest that did not have any substantive regard for social justice or human rights."

The UN Food Summit was held last Sept. It's proven useless to tackle the food crisis-as predicted. My latest piece focuses on the meat debate @ Summit -->reflects how the Summit was a poor attempt at corporate green washing. Open access for 8 weeks: link.springer.com/article/10.100 1/2

I spoke with New Daily about the trends of "plant-based" ultra-processed meat analogues being introduced in fast-food restaurants as alternatives to meat products - and the health and sustainability implications... You can read here:

1. More climate change-induced heatwaves means greater stresses on an already fragile global food system. “The agriculture sector itself can transform into something that mitigates climate change.” Industrial agriculture is driving extinction. Change now.
