A more planet-friendly diet can help both address biodiversity loss and improve people’s health, highlighting the harmful impact of food production, consumption and waste on our ecosystem. To help contain the rise in global temperatures, and preserve human wellbeing, enhance food security and wider stability, an agricultural revolution is needed.
In this podcast, which is part of our Investment Symposium Series, Professor Johan Rockström, joint director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, discusses the actions required to make sure that planetary boundaries such as global temperatures are not violated.
He highlights the importance of preserving nature for a resilient recovery, the exorbitant food system cost and the urgent need for a ‘planet-to-health’ diet. He stresses the economy must operate within strong sustainability standards for us to continue to live in a safe and stable earth system.
