#Ÿnspire – Nicolas Bricas, Food systems socio-economist and researcher, CIRAD
Impact guides the daily life of all Ÿnsecters: how can we feed the planet while conserving resources and biodiversity? As our initiatives broaden, we give a voice to those who are helping change the world, offering alternatives and creating sustainably. Today we met Nicolas Bricas, food systems socio-economist and researcher at CIRAD, the French Agricultural Research and International Cooperation organisation. He works on food systems issues - from production to waste recovery. He also sits on the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES - Food). He explains his work, how agriculture affects world balance, and how food is at the heart of our individual and social construct. We discuss agriculture throughout the ages and how changes in the world have influenced our consumption habits. We also talk about individual responsibility as consumers towards food products.
