Join Simon Messenger and David Carlin for the final episode of our series on food, where we tackle the big question: is the food system about to collapse?

The vulnerabilities in our food system are not accidental—they result from policy choices that prioritized efficiency and profit over resilience and equity.

Simon and David discuss how these choices have left us with a fragile system. They argue for a shift in focus towards long-term sustainability and alternative models which already exist to ensure our food systems can withstand future challenges.

The real question is whether we have the political will to treat food security with the same seriousness as military defence or public health.

In a world of increasing climate instability, food security is national security.

Tune in to learn how we can transform our food systems for a better future.
