Episode notes

The Dutch government wants to dramatically cut farm production despite growing food shortages. Some on the far right in the Netherlands have pushed this idea out with zero evidence, says CNN's John Defterios. A political party formed in part by angry farmers shockingly won a lot of seats in provincial elections.

Feeding the world’s growing population is an increasingly difficult challenge, and climate change won’t make it any easier. Vox’s Kenny Torrella visited the Netherlands, a small country with big ideas about the future of food, to find out more about how the country is approaching the problem.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
