Rising eco-anxiety means we should address mental health alongside food security
FirstpostFor over a quarter of a century, United Nations climate negotiations have failed to reach a legally binding treaty. As a researcher who examines just and sustainable transitions in food systems, I clearly see that climate change puts additional pressure on already vulnerable food systems and populations. Eco-anxiety can further exacerbate food anxiety, which has been provoked by a range of food scares, food poisonings, distancing of food supply chains, hunger and farming crises. Disrupting food systems The IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land, to which I have also contributed, recommends eating less red meat. One way to secure a sustainable and just food future could be to promote agroecology, which combines science and social movements to transform carbon-intensive industrial agriculture into low-carbon and climate-resilient food systems.
