Every meal we eat tells a story about our planet.
In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Michael Grunwald, award-winning author, journalist, and speaker, pulls back the curtain on how our food system quietly drives both hunger and climate change.
Michael reveals that agriculture, more than factories or cities, is consuming the Earth. Forests are cleared, water is drained, and yet millions still go hungry. He shares why the answer isn't nostalgia for old farming ways, but innovation, better policies, and smarter choices that can feed everyone without destroying what sustains us.
You'll hear why food justice and climate action go hand in hand and how change begins not with blame, but with awareness and action.
See how ending hunger could also help heal the planet. Tune in to the full episode of The Hidden Food Crisis Fueling Climate Change with Michael Grunwald.
