Episode 5: Food and Climate From Food Miles To Livestock With Dr Tara Garnett

  • Summary

  • We've done things a little differently for this episode of the Climate Proof-Food Podcast! This episode was hosted by our guest host, Luke Spajic. Luke is a food system research student from Australia, with a background in health. He is a member of the Leadership Team of the Sustainable Consumption Action Track of the UNFSS and a member of the agriculture working group of the youth constituency to the UNFCCC. He is a passionate advocate for fairer, healthier, and more sustainable food systems.

    In this episode, Luke speaks to Dr. Tara Garnett. Dr Garnett is the Director of Table, previously named the Food Climate Research Network, and a researcher with the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford. She is particularly interested in the relationship between emissions reduction objectives as relevant to food and other social and ethical concerns, particularly human health, livelihoods, and animal welfare. Much of her focus is on livestock since this represents a nodal point where many of these issues converge.

    In this episode, Luke and Dr. Tara Garnett discuss topics including:
    - the history of research about food's contribution to climate change, from food miles to livestock
    - the EAT-Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems, of which Dr Garnett was a co-author
    - contestation around livestock's environmental impacts and three common perspectives on what to do about it
    - what constitutes a healthy and sustainable diet
