Did you know that in Germany, we throw around 12 million metric tons of food into the trash can each year? And 52% of that food waste alone is generated in private households.
And on top of that — living in a climate crisis — the Global food production accounts for more than one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions from the production of animal foods are almost twice as high as those from the production of plant foods.
Not to mention the costs of transportation of food created by imports and exports or the amount of meat we eat. Health is another important issue, because currently 70% of all deaths in Europe can be ascribed to non-communicable diseases that are affected by what and how much we eat.
So with all these aspects in mind, our hosts Sibylle & Julia invited Dr. José Luis Vicente-Vicente and Beatrice Walthall to the podcast. They both work at (ZALF) in the project FOODSHIFT2030 which aims to make our food systems more sustainable.
„Food waste is also about the mindset. In Germany the prices for food are artificially low - so low that it is affordable for us to throw food away.“ — Beatrice Walthall, Human geographer & Sociologist
„We think that food systems should be regional, seasonal and also socially fair. We have to be able to produce a wide variety of products this way and we have to adapt our diets to the soil and climatic conditions of the area we live in.“ — Dr. José Luis Vicente-Vicente, Environmental Scientist

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
