The Green Revolution in the second half of the 20th century was seen as an important solution to the problem of malnutrition in the developing world at the time.

\\n

And while it may have succeeded in staving off hunger, the industrialization of agriculture created a whole new set of problems, chief among them a lack of diversity in our food system.

\\n

Why does this matter? What is the food monoculture costing us? And what can we do to bring back some of the diverse foodways we\\u2019ve lost along the way?

\\n

Dan Saladino is the renowned food journalist behind BBC Radio 4\\u2019s The Food Programme and author of Eating to Extinction: The World\\u2019s Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them.

\\n

On this episode of Reversing Climate Change, Dan joins Ross to explain why we so desperately need biodiversity in our food system, exploring why diverse foods may taste better, and could be better for us.

\\n

Dan walks us through several examples of rare foods discussed in his book and offers insight on the people working to revive old foodways.

\\n

Listen in to understand how the war in Ukraine is causing a food crisis and learn what we can do to create a system that is more resilient, more robust, and healthier\\u2014both for people and the planet.
