This episode is a dedicated Q&A show, following on from Ben and Emma’s presentation at the Doctors For The Environment (DEA) 2021 conference, where they discussed food solutions for planetary health.
If you haven’t already done so, it makes sense to listen to Season 2 Episode 44 before diving into this one, as there you will be able to listen to the presentation recording in full. We had some fantastic questions on the day, with a few more sent in from our wonderful listeners, and we cover them as best we can here!
We discuss the following topics:
• Food waste and where this mostly occurs along the paddock to pantry journey
• Regenerative agriculture vs plant-based diets
• Fantastic fungi!...The health and environmental benefits of mushrooms
• How to transition to plant-based diets if you have health issues
• Key actions individuals can take to enhance planetary health
• The 9 most commonly consumed plant foods
• Sources of B12 on a plant-based diet
• Sources of Iron on a plant-based diet
• Tips for approaching a FODMAP diet as a plant-based eater – more information can be found in this article
