Wild Talks
#wildtalks A citizens deliberation on the Green Transition
Food is crucial for life, health, and growth, but the way we produce food globally, with big industries, is causing problems. It makes people sick, leads to deforestation, harms biodiversity, contributes to climate change, and often exploits workers in the food sector. How can we change to more sustainable food systems that keep us healthy, protect nature, and treat workers fairly? Can the European Union (EU) take the lead in making this change happen?

Conversation with Joe Mac
Large agribusinesses often argue that high-yield, intensive farming methods are essential to meet global food demand. They insist that sustainable agricultural practices are unviable and will lead to food shortages when compared to is a contested and multifaceted issue. While there are valid concerns about yield and scalability in certain contexts, extensive scientific and empirical evidence suggests that with the right support, sustainable agriculture can provide sufficient food while preserving biodiversity. Overcoming these challenges necessitates a holistic approach that includes policy reforms, market access, technological innovation, and global cooperation. By addressing these factors, it is possible to achieve a balance between food security and biodiversity conservation, ensuring a sustainable and equitable future for all.
I also agree. What I see in daliy life in many cities in Germany is that "cheap" vegetables are thrown away, literally, as well as bread, and food... as we are really missing the real value of what must be one of the pillars for a holistic health.
