Student Takeover Season: Should Sustainable Food Systems be a new SDG18?

This episode of the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton is part of the Global Sustainability Challenges module student takeover season where we discuss whether sustainable food systems should be the 18th Sustainable Development Goal. 

We address the concept of sustainability and food systems while exploring the impacts and implications. The conversation develops further when discussing the benefits and problems faced with introducing another SDG, specifically the idea of sustainable food systems as a new SDG18.
