About this talk
Our current food system is a leading cause of biodiversity loss and global warming. It is also responsible for increasing the risk of diabetes, stroke, and heart disease, as well as public health threats such as antimicrobial resistance and pandemics emerging from industrial animal agriculture. Scientists agree we cannot reach our climate targets without significantly changing diets heavy in animal products. However, food choice can be complex and controversial, and it's unclear how to move dietary change up the policy agenda, or where and when to intervene to ensure a 'just transition'. The panel of experts in sustainability, health and wellbeing will discuss the ethical, logistical, and technical challenges of transitioning to a more planet-friendly food system. This event is part of the LSE Festival: How to save the planet running from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 June 2026.
