Listen to "Oliver English on the need for regenerative agriculture" on Spreaker.
Food systems are both affected by global climate change and major contributors to it. While extreme weather events such as droughts and flooding severely impact food production, estimates indicate that food systems contribute more than a third of greenhouse gas emissions.
Oliver English is a chef turned food advocate, and now filmmaker, whose new documentary, Feeding Tomorrow, focuses on the transformative potential of regenerative agriculture.
In the final episode of COPcast, English sits down with Devex Executive Vice President Kate Warren on the sidelines of Devex’s event at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Summit to discuss why support for local farmers needs to be at the heart of efforts to combat climate change.
