As part of the Young Fair Trade Academy in Belgium for 2021/2022, we wanted to develop a project on food and its impact on the environment. In the meantime, the European Commission was in the process of drafting a regulation on deforestation-free products. Good timing! This was the perfect opportunity for us to reflect, at our scale, on a global phenomenon, namely deforestation, which is mostly linked to food production and consumption. Here we are: we created a podcast to address this issue, to understand what is at stake and share what we discovered with others. We are not professionals in podcast making, nevertheless, we tried our best to make this series of episodes entertaining and to bring passionate and engaged guests to our table to talk about their work and involvement in food production, the fight against deforestation and policy making. We hope you will enjoy the trip, and perhaps think for yourselves about how to limit the impact of deforestation at your level.
