Fighting for food security is a victorious fight.

I’ve just made a programme featuring 10 ideas that all have the potential to transform the #food system - each one a piece in the jigsaw of a future in which feeding the world won’t cause more damage to planetary #health - and that of our own. I hope it’s an edition of BBC Radio’s Food Programme that fills you with some optimism. You can hear about the work of plant scientist Geoff Hawtin who’s dedicated his life to saving #cropdiversity and helping create the Crop Trust Svalbard seed vault You can also listen to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall explore a 3D ocean farm called Car-Y-Mor in West Wales which is connecting food production at sea and on land and improving biodiversity for both. The team at Groundswell Agriculture describe the impact of the work they are doing through an agricultural festival - bringing farmers together from around the world to share knowledge about #soilhealth and #regenerativeagriculture systems. Magnus and Franco Fubini Natoora explain their approach to finding pioneering ideas through the Food Planet Prize. The winners this year C40 Cities describe why a city based approach to food system change is such a powerful approach. People behind other amazing projects Aquagrain B4Plastics Wonderbag ColdHubs Limited and The Wonki Collective take us through the impact their work is having - and they’re reshaping the food can be produced, distributed and cooked. Many of these ideas are already changing lives. Andy Jarvis at Bezos Earth Fund sets out his thoughts on why #ai can help us find solutions to one of the biggest food challenges… a world increasingly hungry and demanding more and more protein. And helping to provide context to these big ideas is Johan Rockstrom who devised the concept of planetary boundaries and why the food system is breaking so many of these.
