Feeding 1 in 6: China and the Future of Food
A new podcast miniseries from TABLE explores China and the Future of Food. In sixty years, China has moved from catastrophic famine to abundance, now feeding one in six people on the planet.
A new podcast from TABLE (with 4 episodes) follows three foods – pork, rice, and fish – and traces a transformation that has emptied the Chinese countryside, reshaped ecosystems from Brazil to the South China Sea, and produced the high-rise hog farm that is being exported across the world.
The podcast examines the competing priorities driving this transformation, the distributed costs and benefits, and what it means for the rest of the world.
China is simultaneously one of the most consequential and least examined food stories of our time. There is both a lot to learn from and a lot to critique in what China has built.
The four episodes will be released weekly starting 21 May in the Feed podcast feed (on Spotify; Apple Podcast, and all the rest).
The podcast is produced by Matthew Kessler from SLU and TABLE:
TABLE
TABLE is an international food systems platform and dialogue forum, a collaboration between the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), the University of Oxford, and Wageningen University & Research, aiming to foster better discussions on sustainable and resilient food futures by exploring evidence, values, and beliefs behind food debates. It serves as a joint venture to support research, produce content (like podcasts), and facilitate dialogue among diverse stakeholders about global food systems.
Feed is a food systems podcast by TABLE that explores different views, values, and evidence behind global food system debates, featuring experts and discussing topics like scale, sustainability, and future food.
