S.4 Ep. 2: Challenging corporate power in the food system
Show Notes

Whilst the world is trying to grapple with the reality of yet another food price crisis and growing hunger, we speak to those on the frontline to find out why the food system keeps failing and what we can do about it. 

In today’s episode we dive into the role of large multinational companies in the food system and what citizens and campaigners can do to shift power in favour of people and planet. We speak to Nina Holland, who is a researcher and campaigner on food and agriculture at Corporate Europe Observatory. 

Her motto: “If you want to win a fight, you need to know what you're up against and how the system works.“ As many citizens and activists are figuring out how to challenge the disproportionate power of corporations in political decision making and our lives, we hear from Nina about the tricks, narratives, and the solutions that she sees.
