I’m talking with philosopher Dr Julian Baggini about the seven pillars of a food system he believes are needed, drawing on a wide range of examples discussed in his book 'How the World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy'. Despite the huge variations in diets, farming and food systems around the world he argues that holism, circularity, plurality, foodcentric, resourcefulness, compassionate and equitable must underlie a global philosophy of food.

Joyce D'Silva, emeritus ambassador for Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), discusses how their work has developed over the years, its impact on how animals are kept and treated as sentient beings in this interview. She also discusses the health, climate change and the impacts of new approaches to eating are having and CIWF's work on supporting regenerative agriculture in which livestock are treated humanely.
