Opportunity: Pitch us a Food, Farming, and Climate Story

Global food systems account for 1/3 of total greenhouse gas emissions and simultaneously hold many of the solutions to the climate emergency, but receive very little media coverage, especially in developing country media contexts. Part of the reason is that it is a very complex story to cover, and often, it is told from a western lens. Many journalists around the world lack the support structures, data access, expert sources, and financial resources needed to tell this story well. 

With COP26, set to take place in Glasgow in November 2021, there is a key opportunity to spread awareness and build a social movement around the need to integrate just and sustainable food policies within national climate action plans.  

In this sense, we hope to support the Glasgow Process, which leverages the role of local governments and farmers as a progressive force on food and climate issues through dialogue, to become a reality not just as an international movement, but as a locally understood media story. We also hope that through our model of training, paired with journalistic independence and nationally-focused publications, we will be able to support a group of young journalists to become long term agricultural policy storytellers.
