Why your food choices are a climate justice issue with Larissa Kennedy

What does your weekly shop have to do with climate justice? 🌍 In this episode of Connect to Nature, Amy Chapman and Katrina Ridley are joined by Larissa Kennedy, doctoral researcher, community builder and trustee of the Fairtrade Foundation, to explore how our food choices connect us to people, planet and heritage. Raised in Croydon, she is a 'granddaughter of the Windrush generation', with family roots in Jamaica, Barbados, the Grenadine and St Vincent. Here, Larissa shares why her grandmother's garden offered her first connection to nature, food systems, and climate justice, and how fair trade creates real solidarity between shoppers and farmers on the front lines of the climate crisis. From a sick turtle on a beach to Kenyan tea farmers feeling climate change in real time, this is a conversation about bringing "far away" issues close to home, starting with what's on your plate. 🌍 Connect to Nature Season Two is sponsored by the Fairtrade Foundation If you care about nature, climate change and where your food comes from, Fairtrade's Do It Fair campaign is calling for a future that's fair on the planet.
