  • Food Glorious Food - Professor Sarah Bridle
    Aug 17 2023

    In this episode we chat to Professor Sarah Bridle who traded in her high profile career as an astrophysicist to focus on food and what we eat. She is now the Professor of Food, Climate and Society at the University of York. Sarah told us how the battle of food in the climate crisis is not about vegans versus farmers, but enabling better food choices to bring about change.

    Sarah's book - ‘Food & Climate Change Without The Hot Air’ provides an invaluable perspective on the reality-versus-perception of the impact on climate change that our diet actually has.
