Synopsis
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a crucial repository preserving crop diversity as insurance against climate change and population growth.
The episode discusses plant species' potential extinction and crop diversity's role in developing resilient, high-yielding varieties to combat hunger and poverty. It addresses the pressing challenge of feeding a projected 10 billion global population.
We examine current diets dominated by meat and processed foods, investigating the health and environmental impacts and exploring alternatives like vegan and vegetarian diets, lab-grown "clean meat", and the diets of the world's healthiest populations like the Okinawans.
