This week we are chatting to Dr. Colin Sage (@envirofood) about food and its impacts on the world around us.
Colin is an academic strongly committed to public engagement; he co-founded and served as Chair (2013-19) for the Cork Food Policy Council. He retired as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography at UCC and now works as an independent scholar on food systems and sustainability from his base in Portugal. He is an author and book editor on environment and food and is preoccupied with the contemporary food system, its social and environmental consequences, and ways of developing healthier, more sustainable, and resilient food provisioning alternatives.
In this conversation, we spoke about the way food and the environment interconnect. And while this is far more than just a climate issue we focus in on some of the discussions around food policy at COP 26 and other climate meetings.
We look at some of the Irish agriculture policy in relation to climate issues and will food production and how we approach it to play a role in solving the trend of environmental harm we are seeing?
Colin’s other expertise include civic initiatives for social change, so we speak to him about his work with Cork Food Policy, in particular, the role of community gardens and how he believes that “the moment you put your hands into the soil, your relationship to food changes absolutely fundamentally”
