Episode 2 - The Global Food System, Climate and Environmental Injustices with Samie Blasingame

99 Questions Podcast - Ein Podcast von Humboldt Forum

Together with activist, researcher and creative Samie Blasingame we take a look at food systems and how today’s global food system is connected to and influenced by colonial history and the exploitation of people and ecosystems. We discuss the meanings behind food labels like “organic”, “local” or “fair trade” and the realities of people like farmers working in food chain production. We also take a look at food diversity, climate and environmental injustices. Finally, we discuss the responsibility of universities to include more voices from the Global South and marginalized people in the academic fields of ecology and environmental studies. This podcast is brought to you by Dr. Aouefa Amoussouvi and 99 Questions at Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss.
