Weekend reading: International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems
Some of the most thoughtful writing about food and climate change comes from IPES Food–The International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems.
IPES Food recently published From Plate to Planet, a report on how local governments are trying to do something about preventing further climate change by “promoting healthy and sustainable diets, reducing food waste, shortening food chains, training organic farmers, and ensuring all residents can access healthy and sustainable food.”
The report receommends that national governmebts follow their example.
To that I say good luck.
The big triumph of COP-28 was the mention of fossil fuels in its final recommendations, not that anyone intends to do anything about them.
Preventing climate change is going to have to be a local effort. IPES Food points the way.
