Webinar: Reboot Food! How farming is killing the planet and how science could save it

Updated: Nov 10, 2022

Join George Monbiot, Gunhild Stordalen and Hanna Tuomisto in WePlanet's special webinar on November 16th, starting 19:30 CET.



What’s the biggest cause of the sixth mass extinction of species?

What emits more greenhouse gas than all the world’s cars, aeroplanes and ships put together?

What kills 75 billion animals a year?

Food.

It’s time to face the facts. Our food system ​​– dominated by meat, fish and dairy ​​– is devouring the planet. If we want to leave a liveable world for the next generation, we need to reboot food.

Join scientists, activists, policymakers and farmers for the launch event of WePlanet’s radical new campaign, Reboot Food. In this 60-minute webinar we’ll explore how agriculture became the most damaging industry the planet has ever known, and present a new, provocative, science-backed roadmap to building a food system that allows our natural world to recover.



Don’t miss out as we explore key food technologies like precision fermentation, examine core principles such as land sparing and rewilding, and enthral you with our manifesto of essential government policies, such as ending animal farming subsidies, that could make this transition come true.


When: Wednesday, November 16th

What time: 19:30 CET

Location: online
