Introducing Fuel to Fork

When we bite into a juicy apple, barrels of crude oil and natural gas cylinders might not spring to mind. But fossil fuels are the hidden ingredient behind all of our food. For every calorie that ends up on our plates, around 10 calories of fossil fuels are used. From the diesel powering the tractors to the fertilizer in the field and plastic packaging, fossil fuels are the lifeblood of the food industry. What are the options to phase out fossil fuels in food and what are the powerful forces standing in the way? To find out, subscribe to Fuel to Fork. This series is powered by TABLE, IPES-Food and Global Alliance for the Future of Food. Learn more at <a href="https://fueltofork.com/">https://fueltofork.com/</a>

From October-December 2024, Fuel to Fork is taking over Feed: a food systems podcast.  Fossil fuels are the lifeblood of our food system. This 7-episode series exposes their hidden role in the food we eat– revealing how food accounts for 15% of global fossil fuel use. If we want to tackle climate change, we can't leave food off the plate. Fuel to Fork is a collaboration between <a href="https://tabledebates.org/">TABLE</a>, <a href="https://ipes-food.org/">IPES-Food</a>, and the <a href="https://futureoffood.org/">Global Alliance for the Future of Food</a>. Feed, a project of TABLE, is in conversation with diverse experts who are trying to transform the food system. TABLE is a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Wageningen University in the Netherlands, National Autonomous University of Mexico and University of the Andes in Colombia. This podcast is operated by SLU.  For more info, visit https://tabledebates.org/podcast/
