Episode 11: Farmers, food systems and the fossil fuel roadmap

Welcome to COP30 Covered - the daily podcast show from the award-winning edie team, hosted to keep you informed and inspired during the 2025 UN climate summit in Brazil. In our news in brief section today (Wednesday 19 November), we look at the first official draft documents to have emerged as the COP30 organising team rushes to get an agreement over the line in time for Friday. We also look at how today's themes, centred around agriculture, are shaping up. Are there delegates being served sustainable meals and snacks? And who are the industrial ag leaders using COP30 as a lobbying opportunity? Our special guest interview today is with Manuela Santos, Country Director for Brazil at the sustainable trade initaitve IDH. She dials in from Sao Paolo to share what she saw in Belem at the COP, and to share her learnings on collaboration for more sustainable food systems, Your hosts for this episode are: - edie content editor Sarah George - edie editor Matt Mace - Spingwise content editor Matilda Cox Say hello: newsdesk@fav-house.com
