What should I eat to help fight Climate Change?

BBC World Service - The Climate Question, What should I eat to help fight Climate Change?

Experts answer your culinary-based climate questions.

You asked, we answered! Listeners put their questions on the climate impact of the food we eat to a panel of experts.

The Climate Question receives lots of emails from listeners asking about the impact that the food and drink we consume on a daily basis has on the environment and climate: which foods are most associated with greenhouse gas emissions? Which fruits and vegetables are the most sustainable choices at the supermarket? How would a tax on carbon-intensive imported produce, like beef, work? 

In this programme, a panel of experts answer your questions to help you see past the product packaging, wherever you are in the world. 

Presenter Graihagh Jackson is joined by: 

Dan Saladino, food journalist, author and presenter; 

Franziska Funke, Associate Doctoral Researcher in environmental economics at the Technical University of Berlin; 

Dr Ximena Schmidt, sustainability expert at Brunel University, London;
