Dr Friederike D枚bbe鈥檚 research examines how the need for consensus in these settings results in repeated re-framing of issues around health and sustainability.

In this episode, she tells Professor David Ellis why food is such a hotly contested issue, the tensions at play in these negotiations, and how issues get watered down in the pursuit of positive outcomes.

In this episode, she tells Professor David Ellis about the small steps we can all take to reduce our environmental impact, the differences between additive and subtractive sustainability, and how the phenomenon of 鈥榞reenhushing鈥� could be doing widespread harm.
