Butter, cheese and oat milk: sneak preview
Why the food system must change
Our food system faces major challenges: 820 million people worldwide are hungry, while two billion suffer from diseases of affluence such as obesity and diabetes. Agriculture causes 24% of global carbon emissions and uses nearly 40% of the land surface. Yet there are benefits, especially in the developed world, where we have more choice than ever. But that doesn't mean the system is good enough. We must not only learn to deal with these paradoxes, but also take action to improve our food system. There is a huge need as well as potential for change. We are at a tipping point: the transition to a fairer, more diverse and sustainable food system can become a reality - if we start producing, consuming and wasting less now.
