From farm to the future – building sustainable food systems

How do we make our food systems more sustainable? It’s a big question and it is a huge challenge. But we know that progress can be made.

The food industry has a big impact on the climate and the environment, but we cannot just stop making food, we need to keep everyone fed. 

We also know that some of the processes we use to make food could be improved to lessen their impact on the world around us. 

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with Tetra Pak, we delve into the world of sustainable food systems to discover some of the incredible work already being done to reduce the industry’s impact on the climate and the environment.

And we look to the future to see where progress could be made in the years to come.

All of this progress is underpinned by the need to produce enough food to feed a growing population, whilst meeting the high safety standards the industry demands.
