The UN has said humans need to reform food production methods to combat climate change. Evan Fraser is director of the Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph, and discusses how to avoid poor harvests. Tom Bradshaw of Britain's National Farmers Union explains how farmers are coping with an unpredictable climate. And we get further analysis from Professor Aled Jones of the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin university. Also in the programme, we hear from executive chairman Pablo Isla how the Spanish clothing chain Zara hopes to turn fast fashion into sustainable fashion. Plus we meet film director Gurinder Chadha, and find out how her new film 'Blinded by the Light' explores issues of race hate which, she says, are being exacerbated by Brexit.
