Food production creates a quarter of global carbon emissions. Open Food Facts want to compute the environmental impact of millions of food products across Europe, and help consumers and producers take action to reduce their carbon footprint. By putting an Eco-Score on every label we can make smarter choices about the food we eat.
Recorded remotely in April 2021.

For billions of years natural habitats have thrived by producing vast quantities of materials for growth without creating landfill or waste. Materiom have been taking notes. By turning the abundance of materials around us into the building blocks for new growth — and sharing that data open-source — they are helping us rethink our relationship with waste.

The sub-Arctic area stretching across Canada, Scandinavia and Russia stores as much carbon in its soil as the Amazon rainforest. In this episode Hannah Fry meets Snowchange Cooperative to understand how their work rewilding this habitat will help keep that carbon in the ground — and help ensure bio-security for the whole planet.
