We need a climate-friendly food system. This is how we build it

The unsustainable way our food is currently being grown, distributed and consumed contributes massively to global warming and biodiversity loss. But food can also be a solution to climate change and enable cities to become more climate resilient.

Other stories this month: how growing food empowers local school children and their homeless neighbours, the incredible potential of unused urban spaces for food production and a surprising tool one librarian used to grow over 200 varieties of vegetables.
