    Food Forests: Sustainable Agriculture, Nature’s Way | FoodUnfolded AudioArticle

    Food Forests: Sustainable Agriculture, Nature’s Way | FoodUnfolded AudioArticle

    Industrial agriculture often neglects biodiversity and sustainable ecosystems. Food forests, on the other hand, are species-rich and full of life. Unlike natural forests, food forests are mainly composed of perennial edible plants, including trees and shrubs with edible fruits. They are self-sustaining, productive, and relatively inexpensive to manage.

    Could food forests be replacing part of our conventional agriculture?

    Tune in to find out what food forests are, how they are designed, and whether they present a scalable solution.

    Crop Diversity: Why It Matters | FoodUnfolded AudioArticle

    The FAO estimates that we lost 75% of our crop diversity during the 20th century. This trend is threatening food security and human health. But in recent years awareness has increased and efforts to reverse this trend are being made. So what is crop diversity? How can this benefit our food system?

    Why Soil Matters | FoodUnfolded AudioArticle

    Soil is a precious mixture of the living, the never-living, and the dead. It’s a vital resource for 98.8% of our food - and it’s not renewable.

    As the most expensive spice in the world, saffron is an extremely lucrative product.

Here’s how lobbying works to shape agricultural policy and influence both regional and national food environments - for better or worse.
