Walk The Talk: Sustainability Strategy, Metrics & Reporting, Science-based Goals.

Have you ever wondered why eating healthy is hard? Why is there such a big gap between what nutritional guidelines suggest we eat vs what is most produced, marketed and easy to access? WHY?! I was very tempted to call this episode: everything that's wrong with our food system in 5 minutes or less but that wouldn't include the rest of this fascinating conversation. Prof Tim Benton takes us on a journey to understand the historical, economical, cultural, political, geographical and social factors that have created the current unsustainable food system. We don't stop at the doom and gloom, of course! We then talk about the next steps to improve our food system. This episode is very satisfying because it ties so many food system loose ends into one accessible and succinct conversation.

Why we don't produce more healthy food. What
