#9: Agricultural economics & sustainable consumption - Dr. Benjamin Bodirsky (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research)

At The Margin

Episode 9 features Dr. Benjamin Bodirsky of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Benjamin has done a lot of research modelling the global food system. Such modelling is important to figure out how the system will be able to support changes in population growth, changes in dietary preferences and respect environmental constraints.

In this podcast, we discuss the current trends in global food demand and how this has changed. We discuss the implications this will have for global food and climate systems and what needs to be done to stay within environmental limits. We also discuss some of the implications for policy in Ireland, Germany and elsewhere.

This is the last episode of the podcast for series one. If you haven't done so already, please share with friends and family and tag us @IrishEconPod. As always, we want to get the word out to as many as possible so please help us grow a solid fanbase in preparation for series two.

Thanks!
