Are meat substitutes as green as we think?
What we eat has a massive impact on global warming. Meat and dairy are among the biggest drivers of the climate crisis - creating more planet-warming emissions than all the cars in the world. \nAs we all try to reduce our carbon footprints, it\u2019s not surprising that the global market for meat alternatives that come from soy or pea protein is growing at a huge rate. In fact it\u2019s estimated that by the end of the decade it will be worth nearly 20 times what it was in 2018. \nBut are these meat substitutes as good for the planet as we\u2019d like to think? \nPresenters Graihagh Jackson and Simon Maybin are joined by: \nReporter: Paul Furley BBC Radio Gloucestershire \nDale Vince, Chair of Forest Green Rovers, UK \nGustavo Guadagnini, Director of the Good Food Institute in Brazil \nDr Ximena Schmidt, Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Brunel University, UK \nNick Jacobs, Director of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems \n \nEmail us: theclimatequestion@bbc.com \nProducer: Georgia Coan \nResearcher: Natasha Fernandes \nProduction Coordinators: Helena Warwick-Cross and Siobhan Reed \nSeries Producer: Alex Lewis \nEditor: Richard Fenton-Smith \nSound engineer: Tom Brignell
