Fuel to Fork | Feed podcast
From October-December 2024, Fuel to Fork is taking over Feed: a food systems podcast.
Fossil fuels are the lifeblood of our food system. This 7-episode series exposes their hidden role in the food we eat– revealing how food accounts for 15% of global fossil fuel use. If we want to tackle climate change, we can't leave food off the plate.
Fuel to Fork is a collaboration between TABLE, IPES-Food, and the Global Alliance for the Future of Food.
Feed, a project of TABLE, is in conversation with diverse experts who are trying to transform the food system. TABLE is a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Wageningen University in the Netherlands, National Autonomous University of Mexico and University of the Andes in Colombia. This podcast is operated by SLU.

Does CRISPR make our food unnatural?
If more and more gene-edited foods become common on our plates, is that a sign of a promising or worrying food future? With Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr, food anthropologist and host of the podcast A CRISPR Bite, we unpack whether it’s fair to call CRISPR a natural way of "speeding up the breeding" process, whether technological innovations such as gene editing are addressing root causes of food systems challenges, and if there’s space for middle ground on such a polarizing issue.
