The summer of 2023 showed how a new climate can affect food production. It is high time to think about what we can grow in the future, says Christel Cederberg, Professor of Sustainable Agricultural Systems.


In the Vera podcast (Verapodden), she tells us that cows are better than their reputation, why eating a lot of chicken might not be such a good idea, and how ordinary grass could become part of your own diet in the future. This episode is broadcast in Swedish. Follow us and listen on PodBean
