It features an interview with Sarah Bridle. She is a professor of food climate and society at the University of York and on the vanguard of a new field: her research carefully measures the exact effects of the foods we eat on climate change.

Summary of key takeaways:
- Food contributes to 1/3 of the impact of CC, of which food WASTE contributes 1/3
- We don't need to go vegan, but need to cut down on meat (esp ruminants);
- Reduce FF intensive cooking methods (eg Oven use)
- Reduce Air miles (flown-in food)
