What should I eat to help fight Climate Change?

You asked, we answered! Listeners put their questions on the climate impact of the food we eat to a panel of experts.

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;

If you have a question about climate change that you’d like us to answer, or a comment – please email them to theclimatequestion@bbc.com
