Re-Thinking Food: Transforming Food Systems for People and Planet | Frank Eyhorn | TEDxIHEID

Climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty, health issues: what we eat and how we produce our food is shaping the face of our planet and of our societies like no other human activity. The hidden costs of cheap food are mind-blowing. At the same time, food is currently one of the most powerful levers for changing things for good. No need to be dogmatic or stop enjoying food. But re-thinking the way we look at food, and re-shaping the rules of the game that determine food systems, will have an enormous impact. Frank Eyhorn is an established expert in sustainable agriculture and food systems with more than 20 years of experience in international cooperation. He is passionate about transforming food systems through innovative practices, supportive policy frameworks and increased investment in agroecological solutions. With a PhD in environmental science, he has conducted extensive research and published various educational materials and scientific articles. In 2020, he became the CEO of Biovision, a Swiss foundation promoting and supporting ecological development in Africa, Switzerland and globally. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
