Is the battle over who controls and owns agricultural data one of the most important—and least discussed—fights in 21st-century farming? In this conversation, Jennifer Clapp (prof at the University of Waterloo and member of IPES-Food) explores the deep ties between fossil fuels and our food system, tracing their influence from fertilizers and pesticides to farm mechanization and digital agriculture. She unpacks how fossil-fueled inputs have shaped—and continue to shape—modern farming. For more info and resources, please visit our episode webpage.GuestsJennifer Clapp, IPES-FoodEdited by Matthew Kessler.

We gathered in Oxford to ask: Is a fossil free food system possible? 3 panelists: a farmer, an economist and biodiversity researcher, shared their expert perspectives. What technologies are on the horizon? What uncertainties do they bring? Is it better to farm differently, eat differently, plug in better tech, restrain environmentally damaging practices of food and agribusinesses, or all of the above?Visit the episode webpage for more resources.This series is powered by TABLE, IPES-Food and Global Alliance for the Future of Food.GuestsHelen Browning, Soil AssociationRupert Simons, SystemIQEmile Frison, IPES-FoodProduced by Matthew Kessler, Robbie Blake and Chantal Clément.

Biodiversity is the foundation of life on Earth, yet it's disappearing at an alarming rate—with habitats fragmented and up to a million species at risk. Agriculture is a key driver of this crisis, but is it a central focus in global biodiversity solutions? In this episode, we delve into the recent United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Cali, Colombia, with insights from experts who were on the ground. Was there an agri-food flavor to the discussions? What were the key takeaways, and did this COP live up to its promises—or was it just for show? Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of agriculture, biodiversity, and global policymaking, with our guests: Edward Davey, Head of the World Resources Institute Europe's UK office Lim Li Ching, co-chair of IPES-Food and senior researcher at Third World Network (TWN) Hazel Healy, De Smog's UK Editor in Chief Host: Natasha Foote Post-Production: Jonathan Rémy Music: Leonardo Prieto Dorantes and Jonathan Rémy Follow @SlowFoodEurope on X, and join our Telegram group: https://t.me/+xSzaZeIyCUM1NjJk A project by Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN) Financed by the European Union.

What would a food system free of fossil fuels look like by 2050? What insights surprised the experts featured in this series? And what trade-offs must we navigate to shape this future? In our final episode, we shift from acknowledging the 'fossil fuel problem in food' to exploring actionable solutions.Visit the episode webpage for more resources.This series is powered by TABLE, IPES-Food and Global Alliance for the Future of Food.GuestsRaj Patel, IPES-FoodAnna Lappé, Global Alliance for the Future of FoodDarrin Qualman, National Farmers Union (Canada)Galina Angarova, SIRGEMolly Anderson, IPES-FoodProduced by Matthew Kessler, Anna Paskal and Nicole Pita.

Fossil fuels are hiding in plain sight in our kitchens—powering stoves and cooling refrigerators, plus they're fueling supply chains. They shape how we cook, eat and connect with food. In this episode, we explore how to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in home and commercial kitchens. What counts as a 'clean' cooking fuel in Malawi versus the United States? And what would it take to transform the energy grid powering our food systems? Researchers, chefs, and activists weigh in.Visit the episode webpage for more resources.This series is powered by TABLE, IPES-Food and Global Alliance for the Future of Food.GuestsChrista Roth, Cleaner Cooking CoalitionChristopher Galarza, Forward Dining SolutionsGabriel Eckhouse, Uppsala UniversityGalina Angarova, SIRGENnimmo Bassey, Home of Mother Earth FoundationErrol Schweizer, IPES-FoodGeorgina Catacora-Vargas, IPES FoodProduced by Matthew Kessler, Anna Paskal and Nicole Pita.

When we talk about the future of food, we usually picture what's growing in the fields or what's on our dinner plates. But maybe we should pay a little more attention to everything happening in between. Processing and packaging consumes the largest share of fossil fuels in our food system— more than 40%. Our growing reliance on ultra-processed foods, and plastics across the supply chain is making food production more energy-intensive than ever before.

What are the hidden costs of our current food system and its deep reliance on fossil fuels, a system that burdens citizens with financial, health and environmental consequences? With Raj Patel, research professor at the University Texas at Austin and IPES-Food panel member, we cover this and Christopher Columbus's wicked legacy, middle-class environmentalism, and what a food system free of fossil fuels could look like.  We thought this extended interview with Raj Patel was so compelling we wanted to share it in its entirety.For more info and resources, please visit our episode webpage.GuestsRaj Patel, IPES-FoodProduced by Matthew Kessler, Anna Paskal and Nicole Pita.

Fossil fuels are woven into nearly every aspect of modern agriculture - from powering farm machinery to creating plastics and supporting data-driven tech like precision agriculture. But what would it take to reduce or even eliminate their use on farms? We dive into both replacement technologies and transformative food production methods like agroecology, exploring the obstacles and limitations of scaling different solutions.

Since 2020, over 120 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer have been produced annually—a number set to rise by 50% by 2050. It's easy to assume this is non-negotiable, that without it, we'd face a food crisis. But do we really need all this fossil-based input? As it turns out, there are many ways we can reverse this trend - from curbing overuse and adopting alternative technologies to rethinking our diets and transforming farming practices. We explore a range of options to ease our dependency on fossil fueled agrochemicals.

“For many of us, how fossil fuels are integrated across the food chain is highly invisible.”    When we bite into a juicy apple, barrels of crude oil and natural gas cylinders might not spring to mind. But fossil fuels are the hidden ingredient behind all of our food. For every calorie that ends up on our plates, around 10 calories of fossil fuels are used. From the diesel powering the tractors to the fertilizer in the field and plastic packaging, fossil fuels are the lifeblood of the food industry.     In Fuel to Fork, a new podcast series powered by TABLE, IPES-Food and the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, we expose and explore the fossil fuels in our food, speaking to farmers, chefs, food industry experts, scientists and campaigners.

Debt Distress and the Right to Food in Africa Co-organized by IFPRI and Welthungerhilfe (WHH) October 2, 2024 More than half of low-income countries are at risk of debt distress or have already defaulted. The debt crisis, while exacerbated by recent crises, has been looming for several years. According to the United Nations, 3.3 billion people now live in countries that spend more on interest repayments than on education or health, and in sub-Saharan Africa, governments are spending 53 percent of revenue on debt servicing. What do these debt trends mean for efforts to address food insecurity and uphold citizens' right to food? Twenty years after the adoption of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Right to Food (RtF) by the UN Food and Agricultural Organization, many countries that adopted RtF in their constitutions still face high levels of food and nutrition insecurity. Although the Guidelines incorporate clear guidance on pursuing debt relief to allow for the progressive realization of the RtF, debt repayments and austerity measures, combined with insufficient local revenue mobilization, force governments to re-prioritize scarce resources and undermine investments in food system transformation. In the run-up to the International Development Association (IDA) Replenishment Forum in October 2024 and the release of the African Union's post-Malabo agenda in early 2025, this policy seminar brings together speakers from international and African organizations to examine the impacts of the debt crisis on realizing the RtF in Africa and consider solutions to protect and progressively realize those rights. Opening Remarks Danielle Resnick, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI (Presentation) Panel Discussion Michael Windfuhr, Deputy Director, German Institute for Human Rights; Member of Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Presentation) Diana Gichengo, Executive Director, The Institute for Social Accountability, Kenya; Member of African Forum and Network on Debt and Development (AFRODAD) Geeta Sethi, Global Lead for Food Systems, The World Bank Group Jennifer Clapp, University Professor & Canada Research Chair, IPES-Food and University of Waterloo, Canada (Presentation) Nick Jacobs, Consulting Director, IPES-Food (Presentation) Closing Remarks Michael Gabriel, Director of Strategic Partnerships, US and Canada, Welthungerhilfe (WHH) Moderator Charlotte Hebebrand, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, IFPRI Links: More about this Event: https://www.ifpri.org/event/debt-distress-and-the-right-to-food-in-africa/ Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

John Webster is dierenarts en emeritus hoogleraar veehouderij aan de Universiteit van Bristol, waar hij het Bristol Centre for Animal Behaviour and Welfare opgerichtte. Hij herschreef in de jaren ‘90 de vrijheden van dieren. Dat waren tot dan: De vrijheid om op te staan, om te zitten, om zich om te draaien en ledematen te strekken. Webster verruimde deze definitie behoorlijk. Maar heeft het dier in de veehouderij ook keuzevrijheid? Hij vertelt hoeveel slimmer dieren zijn dan wat wij denken. Wist jij dat er vogels zijn die mossels vangen en heel slim gebruik maken van rijdende auto's om deze te “kraken”? Maar dán neemt het gesprek een behoorlijk onverwachte wending. Kloppen zijn stellingen over dieren in het voedselsysteem wel? We bellen met Imke de Boer, Hoogleraar Dieren & Duurzame Voedselsystemen aan de Wageningen Universiteit, voor een reactie. Ook reageert John op onze eerdere eveneens Engelse gast George Monbiot.In deze aflevering: Over dierenwelzijnHoe intelligent zijn dieren en kunnen we intelligentie als maatstaf gebruiken? Hoe ziet John het gebruiken van dieren voor consumptie?Eet John zelf eigenlijk nog wel eens vlees?Hoe ziet hij de toekomst er uit van mens & dier?Hoe zit dat ook alweer met dieren en CO2?Landbouw zonder dierlijke mest, kan dat?Meer info? Webster Welfare: https://www.websterwelfare.com/John Webster op CIWF: https://www.ciwf.org/about-compassion/people-at-compassion/visionaries/academia/professor-john-webster/John Webster ontving Award van Bristol University: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2013/9626.htmlMet dank aan de organisatoren van het Extinction or Regeneration congres: Compassion in World Farming:  https://www.ciwf.nl/IPES Food: https://www.ipes-food.org/Credits:Presentatie: Esther Molenwijk, Stichting The Food RevolutionAudio: Marlon van der Pas, Nothing BlankDank aan Imke de Boer voor haar reactie in deze podcast.

In London, op het congres van Compassion in World Farming en iPES Food, interview ik Dokter Shireen Kassam. Shireen is hematoloog. Zij bestudeert ziekten van het bloed, met een specialisatie in lymfenklierkanker. Maar de laatste jaren is ze zich gaan verdiepen in het effect van voeding, en dan vooral Plantaardige voeding, op het genezen én het voorkomen van ziekten. Ze deed een extra studie, leefstijlgeneeskunde, en richtte daarna de organisatie Plant-Based Health Professionals UK op. Daarmee onderwijst ze artsen en gezondheidsprofessionals over de effecten van een vegan voedingspatroon. Recent schreef ze samen met haar zus, die ook kankerarts is, het boek: Eating Plant-Based: Scientific Answers to Your Nutrition Questions. Een uitgelezen kans om eens even de diepte in te gaan op de gezondheidsaspecten van een plantaardig dieet. Dit interview is in ‘t engels. Deze aflevering: Waarom is Shireen, als kankerarts, zich gaan specialiseren in voeding? Op welk dieet blijven mensen het langst gezond? Zijn plantaardige proteinen even goed als dierlijke? Hoe belangrijk is vitamine B12? Is plantaardig eten slecht voor je botten? Hoe zit het met zwangere vrouwen, jonge kinderen en oudere mensen? Hebben ziekenhuispatiënten dierlijke proteïnen nodig? Hoe voorkom je, als voorvechter van plantaardige voeding, een tunnelvisie? Meer info? Website Plant-Based Health Professionals UK:  https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/Plantbased Health online: https://plantbasedhealthonline.com/Credits:Gasten: Shireen Kassam, Plant-Based Health Professionals UK, Presentatie: Esther Molenwijk, Bureau DaadWerkAudio en design: Marlon van der Pas, Nothing BlankMet dank aan de organisatoren van het Extinction or Regeneration congres: Compassion in World Farming:  https://www.ciwf.nl/IPES Food: https://www.ipes-food.org/Help ons het plantaardige nieuws te verspreiden: deel deze podcast.

"Agroécologie : des réponses locales à des crises globales", c'est le thème de la campagne œcuménique pour l'EPER, Action de Carême et Être Partenaires.    La crise climatique aggrave la famine dans le monde. La Campagne œcuménique d'Action de Carême, qui débute, réclame davantage de justice climatique et d'actes politiques et individuels en la matière. Les trois organisations voient dans l'agroécologie une solution pour lutter contre la faim dans le monde. En effet, cette approche favorise une production et une consommation plus conscientes des aliments.  Olivier de Schutter, ancien rapporteur spécial de l'ONU sur le droit à l'alimentation (2008-2014) et actuel co-président du Panel international d'experts sur les systèmes alimentaires durables (IPES-Food) revient sur les changements de paradigmes nécessaire pour réussir le pari d'une agriculture plus respectueuse des humains et de l'environnement.

As we continue our week looking at the causes and consequences of increasing food prices, we hear how the world's largest grain trading companies are making huge profits at the same time as food prices increase rapidly. Some charities are now calling for them to face a windfall tax. We speak to IPES-Food which has been monitoring how recent global events are affecting global food prices. How sustainable is the meat you eat? Some people pay more for organic and grass-fed beef and lamb with the belief that it will have less of an impact on the environment, however conservation writer George Monbiot says they are wrong, as it is some of the most damaging. Anna Hill speaks to George Monbiot and Cambridge University professor Donald Broom who says there needs to be a wider assessment of what is meant by sustainable. And we've reported regularly about the use of robots on farms, from weeding crops to picking fruit. But they are still too expensive for many farmers to think of using. Now the idea of hiring in robots, rather like seasonal workers, is on the cards. Presented by Anna Hill Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan

Deux nouveaux navires transportant des céréales ont quitté les côtes ukrainiennes ce lundi 8 août. Depuis la signature d'un accord entre l'Ukraine et la Russie sur les exportations de céréales, dix cargos ont pu quitter les ports ukrainiens. Entretien avec Olivier de Schutter, rapporteur spécial de l'ONU sur les droits de l'Homme et l'extrême pauvreté et coprésident du Groupe international d'experts sur les systèmes alimentaires durables (IPES-Food). ► À lire aussi : Mer Noire: le trafic céréalier des ports ukrainiens reprend un -presque- rythme de croisière

Since the war in Ukraine broke out, the words “food security” and "food crisis" are on everyone's lips. The conflict has had rippling effects on millions of people's lives, with President Putin holding the specter of hunger over their head. Ukraine and Russia being such big producers and exporters of grain, elsewhere concerns are indeed mounting over potential food shortages. Meanwhile, the conflict has sent global food prices skyrocketing, which are hitting the poorest populations the hardest. To cope with this crisis, some in Europe have suggested to lower environmental standards in agriculture in favour of increasing food production. Others like Slow Food, warn that this is a mistake, because environmental protection is key to ensure sustainable food security in the long run. We hear many things about this food crisis, and this is a complex topic to grasp. How does it impact Europe and the world? How can we feed the world without the Ukrainian crops? Do we really need to produce more food while other farming alternatives are just waiting to be scaled up? We take a step back and untangle these complex issues with our guests: Nick Jacobs, director of IPES Food (the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems) Nathalie Bolduc, researcher at IDDRI (Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations) David Peacock, Slow Food farmer in Germany Do not hesitate to follow @SlowFoodEurope on Twitter, as well as our guests: @IPESFood and @IDDRI_English.

Liz Carlisle talks to Bertie about her new book, soon to be published by Island Press: 'Healing Grounds - Climate, Justice, and the Deep Roots of Regenerative Farming'. The agroecologist, Environmental Studies Professor and award-winning author has spent the last year talking to Indigenous communities & farmers of colour across North America about their approaches to land, crop cultivation and livestock. Originally looking to learn more about soil sequestration, she was confronted with bigger picture issues about the relationships between climate policy, social justice, and agriculture.Liz's further reading: ·        HEAL Platform for Real Food·        Soul Fire Farm·        Vox's coverage of Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren's farming legislation·        IPES Food reports ·        Adam Calo's work on Scottish low carbon farming·        You can order Liz Carlisle's previous books on agroecology on her website

Despite the absence of food systems, soil and agriculture from the top negotiating table at COP26, these subjects did, at last, emerge as key themes at side events inside the COP conference village. The Glasgow Food & Climate Declaration - initiated by Nourish Scotland and IPES Food - was a key factor in pushing this focus on food systems up the policy agenda. ffinlo Costain discusses the purpose, legacy and future of the Declaration with Pete Ritchie, Executive Director of Nourish Scotland, and Chantal Clément, Deputy Director, of IPES Food. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/farmgate/message

To mark 50 episodes on the podcast, I share my own evolving thoughts on food. I reflect on the state of agriculture and on what sustainability might mean in the food movement today. My experience over the last half decade engaging with the food movement has been that debates are all too often reduced to soundbites on social media. Complex arguments are reduced to 280 characters on Twitter, angry posts on Facebook, and rants on YouTube. We're talking past each other.

This year's UN Food Systems Summit is being seen by many as an opportunity to define the future of food. The summit may also be the launch pad for a new science & policy interface - what's being described as an 'IPCC for Food'. But do we really need an IPCC for Food? Shouldn't we simply better fund and better utilise the mechanisms we already have? ffinlo Costain is joined by food systems experts from IPES Food. Jennifer Clapp, from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, is part of the UN's High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition. Molly Anderson is a specialist in hunger, food systems, and multi-actor collaborations for sustainability from Middlebury College in Vermont, USA. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/farmgate/message

In this episode we talk with Emile Frison, IPES FOOD panel member and UNFSS co-lead on the solution cluster on agroecology and regenerative agriculture, about his expectations for the UN Food System Summit, whether agroecology has advanced in recent years, and creating new food system policies. 

Pat Mooney is the co-founder and executive director of the ETC Group, and is an expert on agricultural diversity, biotechnology, and global governance with decades of experience in international civil society. Since 1977, ETC group has focused on the role of new technologies on the lives and livelihoods of marginalized peoples around the world. In March 2021, the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food) released a new report in collaboration with the ETC Group: 'A Long Food Movement: Transforming Food Systems by 2045'. In this report, IPES-Food and the ETC Group map out two very different futures for food systems, people and planet.

On “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg,” Dani talks with Pete Ritchie and Chantal Clément on the Glasgow Food and Farming Declaration, an international declaration for sub-national groups seeking to embolden local movements towards a sustainable food system. Pete Ritchie is the executive director of Nourish Scotland, an Edinburgh based organization working to ensure food security, climate change mitigation, and food justice in the UK country. Chantal Clément is the deputy director of IPES-Food, a Brussels-based NGO working with governance institutions across the world to set the agenda for sustainable food systems. The two organizations have come together to create the Glasgow Declaration, which may hold city and local governments accountable for leading the food system transformation.  While you’re listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show; it would mean the world to us to have your feedback.

Despite the early green ambitions, the new Common Agricultural Policy may end up looking rather like business as usual. But, following policy delays, the CAP will now be delivered under the EU presidency of Ursula von der Leyen. The new Commission has prioritised environmental action, and the Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal. In this programme I'm crossing the English Channel to find out what's happening with agricultural policy in mainland Europe? ffinlo Costain speaks to Nick Jacobs, the Director of IPES Food, and to Pierre-Marie Aubert, the Coordinator of the European Agriculture Initiative for IDDRI. IPES Food's influential 2019 report, Towards a Common Food Policy for the EU, can be found here. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/farmgate/message

Nick Jacobs, coordinator of IPES Foods joins me to discuss an exciting and inspiring initiative, aimed at informing the debate on how to reform food systems. IPES refers to the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems. It brings together environmental scientists, agronomists, nutritionists, ecologists, development economists and very experienced practitioners from NGO's and social movements. IPES-Food is bridging the gap between food security and nutrition, by bringing together people from all of the relevant disciplines and food systems, to take a holistic view. The issues surrounding food security and nutrition are issues that affect every single one of us. You can also watch this episode at www.DrRonEhrlich.com.

Olivier De Schutter est professeur en droit international et ancien rapporteur pour le droit à l’alimentation à l'ONU. Il est également co-président de l’IPES-Food, un groupe international d’experts indépendants sur les systèmes alimentaires durables. Fervent défenseur de l'agroécologie, c'est par lui que le mot a été mis en lumière, à la suite de la publication en 2011 d'un rapport pour l'ONU. Olivier De Schutter souligne les limites du modèle industriel et les pratiques des firmes agroalimentaires, et plaide pour une transformation profonde des systèmes agricoles et de notre modèle de société, en insistant sur l'urgence de placer la question alimentaire au centre des débats publics. Nous avons parlé d'agriculture, d'alimentation et d'agroécologie, de la faim dans le monde, du lien entre climat et conflits, des initiatives citoyennes de transition, et du besoin de changement de modèle de société. * Entretien enregistré le 12 juillet 2018 *** SoundCloud : @presages-podcast Abonnez-vous sur iTunes : apple.co/2IgEClh Inscrivez-vous à la newsletter : bit.ly/2p2so7n Facebook : www.facebook.com/presages.podcast/ Chaine Youtube : bit.ly/2JVNiO1 Approfondissez les sujets et découvrez des ressources sur www.presages.fr *** Présages est un podcast indépendant.
