Breaking Free: How to Remove Fossil Fuels from Our Food System

The food system accounts for 15% of global fossil fuel use, but where does that energy really go? In this episode, Matt Eastland speaks with Anna Lappé to break down the invisible dependence of our food systems on fossil fuels—and the solutions to fix it. From production to processing, packaging to disposal, every step in our food supply chain is tied to energy-intensive practices, most of which rely on fossil fuels. Anna emphasises that these dependencies are ecological, political, and economic risks we can no longer ignore. Learn how we can move away from synthetic fertilisers and pesticides, why regenerative agriculture holds the key to restoring food and climate resilience, and why ultra-processed foods must be part of the conversation. This is not about technological silver bullets; it’s about systems change and collective action that prioritises people, nature, and a fossil-free future.
