    • Society & Culture

In this episode, Timo and Noah tackle the topic of food. In the spirit of the bold, uncompromising tones of their Lisbonese 'Porta 6' wine, they engage in a frank discussion about their personal dietary journeys, before presenting a head-on challenge to the pernicious and environmentally degrading practices of the modern factory farm. Drawing on a combination of arguments ranging from ethics and health to workers' rights and sustainability concerns, they face up to the necessity of moving away from animal products as a crucial component in the fight against climate change. In the final third of the episode, they explore permaculture and agroecology as non-intensive, environmentally friendly solutions to the challenge of food production, discussing the many advantages of such practices, and probing the obstacles that currently stand in the way of their large-scale implementation.
