In this episode of BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme, Dan Saladino meets Jeremy Coller, Founder, FAIRR Initiative, and Chief Investment Officer, Coller Capital, to discuss the effects of modern agriculture; specifically, how intensive animal farming is contributing to climate change and increasing the risk of future disease outbreaks, such as the coronavirus.

Dan Saladino delves into the broader network to learn how investors are using their influence as responsible stewards of capital to shape the future of food. After all, it is this money that makes it possible for fast-food chains to expand, supermarkets to grow and farming businesses to survive.
