“Food is our most intimate connection to nature and our best chance to save a shrinking planet,” explains Sourcing Matters host Aaron Niederhelman. “It’s the food we eat that is the elixir to instigate conversations and evolve mindsets which can stave off existential threats. It’s food and its production that acts as the primary course of action for improving the human condition and advancing climate action,” Niederhelman continues.
To amplify an appreciation for the role of well sourced food in addressing hunger, malnutrition, social welfare and climate change – Sourcing Matters show has partnered with The UN Food Systems Summit to capture leading voices defining solutions of change. The goal of the miniseries is to crawl into the ears of more folks through diverse discussions about how we can all be part of this movement. Episodes take a deep dive into the Summit’s key action tracks and frame these chats around real world experiences in rolling out Sustainable Development Goals to stimulate new perspectives.
We believe that engaging in fun, informal and informative conversations gives us all a better chance to get to know a bit more about the mettle of the women and men who are leading the fight for a more just and stable tomorrow. You see, In all corners the process of producing and sourcing food in a modern world has evolved with consequence on our health and that of the planet. “Three times daily we can vote for the planet and each other in what we decide to eat,” concludes Niederhelman.
