| What can we expect from COP28? A conversation with Raj Patel and Edward Mukiibi | 30 Nov 2023 | 00:41:10 | |
COP 28 has just begun. The attention of all those who care about the climate crisis and work to influence governments and institutions to adopt effective mitigation and adaptation measures have their eyes on Dubai. It is the first COP held since the full release of the latest update in March 2023 of the 6th Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC). This report summarises and synthesises the most up-to-date climate science and provides the best scientific basis to set climate policy. Today I am delighted to host two very special guests to discuss some updates from COP 28 with a special eye on how food systems are driving the climate crises and what solutions are on the table. Host: Valentina Gritti Guests: Raj Patel is a British Indian academic, journalist, activist and writer. Slow Food President Edward Mukiibi is also with us to dialogue with him.

| Slow Food Goes Brussels: GMOs and Pesticides, a Chemical Romance | 20 Sep 2023 | 00:32:30 | |
So many of the foods we eat everyday are sprayed again and again with pesticides before landing on our table. And we all learned over the years, one scandal after another, that this is no good news, either for our health or the environment. But what most people don’t know is the tight connection between pesticides and GMOs. As the European Union is about to take some critical decisions on both pesticides and GMOs, we unveil the troubling truth about that very toxic couple, which are tied by many links, with our three guests:

| Music on the plate: can sound influence our perception of food? With Simone Campa, Leonardo Prieto and Deiniol Pritchard | 16 Aug 2023 | 00:40:01 | |
Music and food are both important cultural expressions of different communities, they are part of rituals, they are elements that support the creation of bonds among people and they are more direct ways of communication compared to language for instance. But music and sounds can also trigger a different sensory outcome when we taste food. So what are the connections between food and music from a cultural perspective? And how do soundscape and music influence our taste and flavour perception? Host and production: Valentina Gritti Guests: Simone Campa: director of the Orchestra Terra Madre, sound designer and sound therapist Leonardo Prieto Dorantes: sociologist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Deiniol Pritchard: associate creative director at The Fat Duck Music credits: thanks Simone Campa and the Orchestra Terra Madre for the piece AfroTammurriata and Tarantella Afro, thanks to Leonardo Prieto for our jingle and his group Son de Aquí for the piece “Simona en el Mercado”, a special thanks also to the Colombian musical group Las Mucharejas for the piece “La Yuca Para el Pastel” (author Laura Marcela Asprilla, Chors: Angie Rengifo, Natali Sánchez, Tambor alegre : Alexis Aristizábal, Llamador: Nicolás Acevedo).

| Slow Food Goes Brussels: The Urban Food Revolution | 12 Jul 2023 | 00:26:46 | |
Welcome to a new episode of Slow Food Goes Brussels, where we dissect the political debates linked to the greatest challenges food and agriculture are facing. Cities are at the forefront of one of the most pressing problems of our times — food. According to the United Nations (UN), 54% of the world’s population were living in urban areas in 2016 — and that figure is predicted to rise to 66% by 2050. And wherever people live, they must eat to survive and thrive, ideally several times a day. Across Europe, a growing number of cities have long since understood their key role in the future of food and have embarked on a journey towards what we call “sustainable urban food policies”. For this episode, we are taking you on a journey to three of these pioneering cities: Bordeaux (France), Birmingham (England) and Groningen (The Netherlands). You will discover how they’re acting, in collaboration with local people and food stakeholders to limit food systems’ impact on climate and the environment, improve people’s wellbeing, shorten, and strengthen production chains, and guarantee access to good food for all.

| Welcome to Slow Food, the podcast! | 05 Jul 2023 | 00:01:32 | |
Ciao! Welcome to “Slow Food, the podcast” where we explore the beauty of good, clean, and fair food systems. From the coffee in your cup to the cacao in your chocolate, we uncover the stories of the people who make our food possible. How do different products end up in your shopping basket and who even decides what’s available for you, and at what cost? I’m Valentina Gritti, a Slow Food Youth Network activist, and I’ll be your guide on this journey.
We walk side-by-side with farmers, cooks and food workers from around the world who are healing the planet through food. We'll learn from the cultural knowledge of indigenous communities, opening our minds to new ways of thinking about food and the political implications of every meal we eat. But most of all, we’ll give you the tools to slow down your life, allowing you to take charge and make choices that are in tune with your health, and the planet.
At Slow Food, we believe that everyone has a story to tell, something to teach. So come with us and discover the power of food, how we can use it to make connections, build communities and restore the natural world. If you have any questions about the food on your plate, reach out to us on socials or write to us at podcast@slowfood.it and we’ll get back to you. Let’s get on with the show!

| Slow Food Goes Brussels: breaking the chain of food poverty | 14 Jun 2023 | 00:28:39 | |
Enough food is produced worldwide to feed 10 billion people, yet hunger is on the rise. While vulnerable populations from the Global North cannot afford healthy and nourishing food, a growing number of people from the Global South must battle every day to simply get access to food. The current food system leaves many behind, putting profit before people. But such injustice is not irreversible: political leaders, from any level, must commit to reshaping our food system and giving it back its true purpose: nourishing everyone. Why is there food poverty and with what consequences? Who suffers from food poverty? What should the political answer be to help fight against it? You’ll learn all about in this episode, where we take you on a journey across the world, from the Global South to the Global North, with our guests:

1/3 of the food produced worldwide is either wasted or lost, which means it never ends up where it is supposed to : on our plates. Why is this a problem? Well, it costs countries millions of euros in lost revenue, causes unnecessary stress on the food chain, and harms the environment by contributing to global warming and climate change. Many myths have been circulating about what causes food waste and who produces more of it. You’ll learn all about it in this episode, and of course, about what’s up in the European Union to help address food waste, because there is no fun without a tad of food policy. Our guests are:

| Slow Food Goes Brussels: reconciling food and health | 19 Oct 2022 | 00:25:44 | |
Food and health are intimately connected. But while the impact of the overconsumption of ultra-processed food on our body is well known by all of us, other negative phenomena directly linked to the production of food are not. Although they endanger human health, but also that of the planet. During Slow Food’s international event on sustainable food systems, Terra Madre, that took place last September in Turin, Alice Poiron interviewed three remarkable speakers to shed light on the complex relationship between food and health, and on which policy solutions exist to reconcile them, in a world where industrial, polluting farming is the norm, not the exception:

| Can municipalities create sustainable food environments? The examples of Curitiba (BR) and Bergamo (IT). | 12 Sep 2022 | 00:35:18 | |
In today's episode we will find out how municipalities can contribute to creating sustainable food environments. I had the chance to interview Thays Thatiane Padilha, previous project planner and international relationships manager at the secretariat for food security at the municipality of Curitiba, Brazil. Thays will tell us more about different inspiring initiatives such as how the municipality has built an urban farm at the city centre of Curitiba, how they create community gardens in empty spaces and what are the solidarity tables and the restaurants of the people. In the second half of the episode we will have a conversation with Davide Zarri, project officer at the municipality of Bergamo, in Italy. Davide will explain how different public initiatives have been developed to foster sustainable food environments. We will learn about the biodiversity valley, the project of organic school canteens, the food policy council and much more. So, get ready for an exciting episode where you can hear of public initiatives that can be potentially replicated in your municipality as well! Guests: Thays Thatiane Padilha, municipality of Curitiba; Davide Zarri, municipality of Bergam; Gabriela Bonilha, SFYN Brazil national coordinator. Host, production & editing: Valentina Gritti.

| Slow Food Goes Brussels: the Global Food Crisis Explained | 25 Jul 2022 | 00:22:26 | |
Since the war in Ukraine broke out, the words “food security” and "food crisis" are on everyone’s lips. The conflict has had rippling effects on millions of people’s lives, with President Putin holding the specter of hunger over their head. Ukraine and Russia being such big producers and exporters of grain, elsewhere concerns are indeed mounting over potential food shortages. Meanwhile, the conflict has sent global food prices skyrocketing, which are hitting the poorest populations the hardest. To cope with this crisis, some in Europe have suggested to lower environmental standards in agriculture in favour of increasing food production. Others like Slow Food, warn that this is a mistake, because environmental protection is key to ensure sustainable food security in the long run. We hear many things about this food crisis, and this is a complex topic to grasp. How does it impact Europe and the world? How can we feed the world without the Ukrainian crops? Do we really need to produce more food while other farming alternatives are just waiting to be scaled up? We take a step back and untangle these complex issues with our guests:

| Slow Food Goes Brussels: How are EU elections affecting green ambitions in food policy? | 15 May 2024 | 00:38:53 | |
What is going on with the Common Agricultural Policy in Europe? What is the simplification package and what were the hidden reasons behind it? Can we afford to put environmental protection measures aside in this moment of history? This episode is part of the series Slow Food Goes Brussels, where we dissect the political debates linked to the greatest challenges food and agriculture are facing. In the previous episode of this series we explained why farmers were protesting in the beginning of the year. In today’s episode we look into what is the response of the EU Institutions to the latest farmers protests. This response is namely what the Commission is calling a "simplification" of the CAP, but what is in fact a reform: they are deciding to rollback on green conditions. Host & Production: Valentina Gritti Guests: Giulia Gouet (policy officer at Slow Food International), Gerardo Fortuna (senior reporter at Euronews) and Paul Behrens (Associate Professor of Environmental Change).

| Slow Food Goes Brussels: The paradoxes of animal welfare in Europe. | 01 Jun 2022 | 00:24:31 | |
The protection of animal welfare on farms has gained momentum in recent years in Europe, with more and more EU citizens calling for the end of their cruel exploitation. And this is with good reason, for farm animals are considered as mere profit machines. You’ve all seen those images of cows, pigs or chicken packed into tight cages or confined to small spaces where they spend a short but painful life. In a never-ending quest for profit, industrial farming allows farm animals to be mutilated, abused, crammed together, fed with low quality feed, and transported across the world in dreadful conditions. Overall farm animals are prevented to live according to their natural needs. Yet, it is said that the European Union has the most advanced legislation in the world regarding animal welfare standards. So why such a gap between the European law and farming practices on the ground? How bad is the state of animal welfare in Europe, and what is being done at the EU level to right such wrongs? Also, what alternatives are there to industrial animal farming? You want the answers to these questions? No worries, Slow Food Europe investigated for you! In this episode, you will hear different points of view on this topic from:

| Youth on political activism, sustainable food systems and their relationship to the EU | 31 Dec 2021 | 00:39:34 | |
Take a break from December feasts and listen to the last episode of the SFYN podcast focused on EU food policies, in which we actually do not speak about EU food policies. While you are all recovering from delicious but intense end of the year festivities, let us talk to you about youth. These past years, young people from around the world have raised their voices, and took up the fight against climate change, inequalities, racism, war, corruption, you name it. Young people hold a great power to change the world, and more and more of them have decided to use this power to get their message across. Mid-December, members of the Slow Food Youth Network in Europe and students at the Slow Food’s University of Gastronomic Science gathered in Bra, in northern Italy. It was a great opportunity for us to sit down with a few of them and discuss about their views on political activism, their desire to see a sustainable food system happening in Europe and beyond, and their relationship to the European Union.

| COP26: What‘s on the menu for food and farming? | 14 Dec 2021 | 00:32:13 | |
Time for EU food policy! In this episode, Slow Food Europe talks about climate! Few weeks ago, world leaders met in Glasgow for the COP26! Alas, this crucial international summit on climate change ended with a disappointing agreement, just when the expectations of civil society, young people, indigenous peoples, and all those affected by the climate emergency were highest. What’s more, despite causing approximately 30% of all atmospheric carbon, there was little said about food and farming. Now that the COP26 is behind us and that dust has settled, let’s take a step back! Was the COP26 a success? What was decided about food and farming? Where does the EU stand in all this, and what is the EU’s way forward on climate change ? We answer all these questions with our three guests:

| EU Farm to Fork Strategy: Science, Civil Society and the Planet over Corporate Interests. | 17 Nov 2021 | 00:38:20 | |
Slow Food Europe is back with a second episode on the EU Farm to Fork Strategy, which was proposed by the EU Commission last year to accelerate the transition towards sustainable food systems in Europe. Last month, the EU Parliament voted in favor of this strategy despite repeated lobbying attacks from the agrifood industry. Slow Food warmly welcomed this vote, and took the opportunity to gather three panelists who have worked hard on the Farm to Fork Strategy since the start:
In this episode, our guests talk about the EU Farm to Fork Strategy and what has happened since its publication in May 2020. They shed light on the intense lobbying that the agro-chemical industry has been doing to try to weaken the Strategy, and on how you, as European citizens can influence food policy, for example through the recent successful European Citizens Initative “Save bees and farmers”. For more details on the EU Parliament's vote of the EU Farm to Fork Strategy, read our recap article: https://www.slowfood.com/eu-parliament-gives-the-green-light-to-the-farm-to-fork-strategy/ Also, do not hesitate to follow @SlowFoodEurope on Twitter, as well as our guests: @MetzTilly, @corporateeurope and @EuropePAN!
