The Climate Question receives lots of emails from listeners asking about the impact that the food and drink we consume on a daily basis has on the environment and climate: which foods are most associated with greenhouse gas emissions? Which fruits and vegetables are the most sustainable choices at the supermarket? How would a tax on carbon-intensive imported produce, like beef, work?
In this programme, a panel of experts answer your questions to help you see past the product packaging, wherever you are in the world.
Presenter Graihagh Jackson is joined by:
Dan Saladino, food journalist, author and presenter;
Franziska Funke, Associate Doctoral Researcher in environmental economics at the Technical University of Berlin;
Dr Ximena Schmidt, sustainability expert at Brunel University, London;
