Show Notes:

In this episode, I spoke with Dr Beth Loveys, a lecturer at The University of Adelaide. Her PhD research began in the area of plant ecophysiology and then post-doctoral positions expanded her area of interest into the effects of global climate change on plant growth. She has written extensively on how climate variability and change will impact plant physiology and growth, and the corresponding impact it will have on food production. Beth was also a Science Awards Finalist in 2019 for STEM Educator of the Year in Tertiary Teaching. Beth also coordinates a number of university courses, one of them being Food Production in a Future Climate.

In this episode, we specifically spoke about:

• How anthropogenic activities impact climate change.
• The Impacts of global warming and climate change in terms of food production
• The challenges of predicting future climate scenarios.
• How climate variability impacts plant growth.
• The options we currently have to continue adequate horticultural production in a changing global climate.
• Plants' role in the global water cycle.
• Get a benchtop green waste bin for your kitchen!
