In this episode of The Parallel Effect, we travel to a parallel world where the scientific evidence linking food, climate and planetary health has driven a profound transformation of the global food system.

In order to stay within proposed safe limits for greenhouse gas emissions, land and water use, water pollution and biodiversity loss, plant-rich diets have become the norm, agriculture has been radically reshaped, and governments, farmers, scientists and consumers work together to keep food production within the boundaries of a liveable Earth.

Dr. Kathleen Kevany – an expert in sustainable agriculture and global food systems – takes us inside this parallel world, exploring what becomes possible when we act on science and redesign food systems around the ecological capacity of the planet rather than asking the planet to accommodate the systems we already have.
