The Proof with Simon Hill
Why Is the Global Food System So Important?
Why is food so important? Why are you focused on food and not fossil fuels?

We don't pay nearly enough attention to fossil fuels, but we pay even less to food and farming. The global food system is as greater threat to earth systems as fossil fuels are, if not more.

Above all, and perhaps most importantly, it's by far the greatest cause of land use.
