‘What Happens Next?’: Is Food Insecurity Getting Worse?

Climate change brings with it warmer temperatures and rising sea levels that threaten staple crops, and an increase in natural disasters that impact supply chains already challenged by global events such as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. This combination is creating a perfect storm, reducing access to reliable food sources even for the most privileged among us.

Who’s facing food insecurity? How will we feed more people than ever on an ever-warming planet? And what can we do to help?

Season seven of Monash University’s podcast, What Happens Next?, returns from hiatus with an investigation into food security. Host Dr Susan Carland’s expert guests include dietitians Dr Sue Kleve and Liza Barbour, plant scientist Professor Ros Gleadow, and Ian Carson AM, a Monash alumnus and co-founder of food rescue organisation SecondBite.

‘What Happens Next?’: Can We Take a Bite Out of Food Insecurity?

Between climate change, inflation, the pandemic, and geopolitical tensions, it’s increasingly difficult for the average Australian family to put high-quality, culturally-relevant food on the table. A major part of the problem is how wasteful our food systems are, with our households accounting for more than one-third of Australia’s total food waste.

Monash University’s podcast, What Happens Next?, revisits the future of food this week. Hear more from some of the change-makers on the front lines of food – the people working to improve the underlying causes of food insecurity, provide emergency food relief, and even shape the future of agriculture.

Host Dr Susan Carland’s expert guests include dietitians Dr Sue Kleve and Liza Barbour, plant scientist Professor Ros Gleadow, and Ian Carson AM, a Monash alumnus and co-founder of food rescue organisation SecondBite.

Importantly, listeners will leave with actionable insights into solving Australia’s food crisis – starting in their own kitchens.

Selina Lo Yuming Guo

Join Monash experts Dr Selina Lo and Professor Yuming Guo this June to learn more about the impacts of planetary health on our health and wellbeing, climate change and what we all need to do to reverse the damage.

Talking food and climate - how sustainable is your diet?

The way we produce food and the way we eat affects more than just our health, it also has a significant impact on our planet and climate. Decisions made at each step of the food supply chain, from paddock to plate, present opportunities to protect our natural resources. A whole-of-system approach is urgently required to shift both food production and consumption practices.Liza Barbour

Join Advanced Accredited Practicing Dietitian Liza Barbour from the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, to learn more about healthy and sustainable diets, and a range of policy interventions we can advocate for to promote a population-level shift towards these diet-related practices.

Planetary Health: A step into the future

Planetary health recognises that human health and the health of our planet are inextricably linked. Climate change is the single biggest global challenge humanity is facing, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the health inequities in our world. Urgent action and attention is required to create societies focused on wellbeing and sustainability without breaching ecological limits.

Join Chief Medical Officer A/Prof Vicki Ashton, Sustainable Development Planner Dr Kendra Wasiluk and Sustainability Coordinator Shane French to take a closer look at what Monash is doing to respond to climate change and foster thriving communities for a healthier future.
