Why are food and farming hardly talked about at COP? Could this be about to change? If so, how? What or what is holding us back from food system transformation?

COP veteran and globally renowned food system transformation expert, Prof Tim Benton (Chatham House, University of Leeds, AFN Network+ co-lead), answered these questions and more in our webinar/ interview held ahead of COP28 in Dubai.

This is a lightly edited transcript of the conversation between Tim and Prof Neil Ward (University of East Anglia, AFN Network+ co-lead), plus Tim’s answers to participant questions.
