Can we feed people without breaking the planet?

Exclusive interview featuring WayBeyond Founder, Darryn Keiller, on the Revolving Door Syndrome podcast.

For a long time, New Zealand has traded off the back of its agricultural and farming expertise. Producing enough food to feed 40 million people, we export most of that overseas. It’s made us a pretty wealthy country and afforded us access to new medicines, precision scientific instruments, animal feed, and fuel. However, our heavy reliance on agriculture has come at a cost to the environment, leading to soil degradation, water pollution, and excessive carbon emissions.

On the Revolving Door Syndrome podcast hosted by Dr Nina Su, Darryn Keiller, Founder of WayBeyond, talks about the challenge of improving how we cultivate food while reducing the environmental cost of production.

So what does a more resilient and sustainable food system look like?
