At this stage in the series we wanted to take a step back to ask the questions: How important is food when it comes to climate change?How much difference can individuals actually make?And if we are going to change the way we eat, how can we do this in a way that’s just and fair to everyone?   In this episode I talk to Professor Dave Reay, Chair in Carbon Management at the University of Edinburgh and author of several books on exactly these topics. Dave talks to me from his farm on the Mull of Kintyre, where he’s planting trees and trying to remove his family’s carbon footprint.
