The Climate Crisis, Food Security, and the Edge of Cultural Loss

Speakers: Oğuz Ergen & Dr. Pınar Nacak

 

In this episode, we explore the multifaceted impacts of climate change on agri-food systems with agricultural economist Dr. Pınar Nacak.

Dr. Nacak illustrates how climate change affects not only yield and production, but also consumer health, cultural food diversity, child nutrition, and food inflation.

Key topics include the health effects of pesticide use, protein deficiency among children, decreasing product variety, declining purchasing power, and the economic dimension of gastronomy.

This conversation highlights why a structural transformation of agri-food systems is essential in the face of the climate crisis.
