#92 Covid-19 and transforming the global food system w/ Astra Taylor and Troy Vettese
from Politics Theory Other · host Politics Theory Other
Astra Taylor and Troy Vettese join me to talk about their recent article in the Guardian in which they argue that the principal driver of zoonotic diseases is the factory farming of animals and that the covid19 pandemic shows that we need to transition away from a meat-centred global food system. We also talked about an article Troy co-wrote in Jacobin, entitled The Climate Crisis and COVID-19 Are Inseparable. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/apr/16/coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-food-animals https://www.jacobinmag.com/2020/05/climate-change-crisis-covid-coronavirus-environment
