Show Notes
Our food system is on the verge of collapse — but we can fix it.
In this episode, we’re joined by Tim Benton, one of the world’s leading experts on food security, to unpack the deep systemic drivers behind the crisis… and what a truly regenerative future could look like.
We cover:
Why the food system is fundamentally unsustainable
The 3 “lock-ins” keeping us stuck
How planetary boundaries apply to farming and diets
The myth of green growth
What gives Tim hope — and what needs to change now
This is one of the most powerful and important episodes we’ve recorded. If you care about the future of food, farming, or the planet, you need to hear this.
