Discussing the book "Future Foods, how modern science is transforming the way we eat." Nanotech is the science of dealing with materials at the size and range of nanometers. And you may wonder, okay, what is that size? Well, it's about a thousand times smaller than a human hair. And with that size also come very special benefits, but also drawbacks. The book was published in 2019 and written by David Julian. McClements is a British food scientist and distinguished professor at the University of Massachusetts.

Is "climate-friendly eating" a thing? We discuss what makes food carbon-intensive and how to reduce carbon emissions by choosing food that is in season, transported by boat instead of a plane, and grown locally.

This is the second part of our discussion on the book "Stuffed and Starved - the hidden battle for our world's food system." We look at the price development at the supply chain, addressing the lack of transparency and how corporates are incentivized to process foods for higher profit. We discuss corporate and consumer responsibility. And talk about whether malnourishment is an issue of "insufficient food"? The author Raj Patel is a British Indian. Academic journalist and activist. He holds a PhD in development and sociology from Cornell University. In this book, he focuses a lot on the inequality of our food system. The book's main thesis is that more people are overweight than people who are starving. And that's solving the issue is now our food system is not just about increasing yield. It's much more a poverty and distribution issue. I'm joined by my amazing co-host Frank Kuehne. He's the managing partner of the Adalbert-Raps Foundation, which offers grants for scientific research in food technology, but more on that later. Let's jump right in.
