from Over Here, Over There: International Politics & Culture Podcast · host Dan Harris and Claudia Koestler
In a world of increasingly scarce resources, it's important to understand and maximize one of the most important of them all: food. In this engaging and informative episode, we speak with German TV presenter, broadcaster, and science journalist Dirk Steffens, who with his filmmaker, director, science journalist, and biologist wife Sabine, work together to help save the planet by advocating smarter and more effective consumption and production of food. Dirk Steffens is best known for his work in the field of nature andscience documentaries. He has hosted and contributed to various television programs, particularly those related to environmental conservation, wildlife and natural history. We hope he won ́t mind us saying it, but you can think of him as the German David Attenborough. One of Steffens` most notable roles is as a presenter of the popular German documentary series "Terra X", which covers a wide range of topics related to science and the natural world. Now Dirk and Sabine have a new project on the go, Geo Films, that is setto reach new dimensions. In films, books, and social media, they dedicatethemselves to the big issues to raise awareness of how we can tackleenvironmental problems and protect our planet. But they do so not bydepressing us with the negative aspects of food consumption and production. They have traveled the world and found truly positive, unique, and unexpected ideas and solutions that enable us to do so without restrictions or limitations. The solutions the two found are not only surprisingly easy for everyone to take on and protect the environment, but also save you time and money, too. Listen in to find out how you and the rest of the world can benefit from their important work.
