Climate change is becoming a problem you can taste

Summary 

We realized that our food was not enough in the supermarkets, though, much meat and vegetable were wasted in factories and fields during the pandemic. The speaker tells us that our food systems couldn’t adapt to some disruptions. Because of climate change, if drought, heat, flooding, superstores, invasive insects, bacterial blight and etc happen, we will lose more food. 

She suggests The Third Way to change our food systems. It means to combine old ways and new ways. By using technology, to change spraying fertilizer. It’s reducing the use of herbicides and improving soil health. 

To study about plant-based and alternative meats is progressing. It must be better for our health, reducing CO2, and not killing too many animals. 

Providing for disaster, creating sustainable and resilient food systems, improving harvest, and our health, and then it leads to stopping climate change.
