In recent years, more and more people have been asking questions about meat – its ethics, sustainability and alternatives. In this season we start to unpack the ‘meat debate’. On the 11th July we kick off with two short documentaries. FOOD FOR THOUGHT asks if it’s possible to produce meat in an environmentally sustainable way, while HUNGRY FOR CHANGE looks more broadly at how the contemporary food system came about, its environmental impacts and what we can do about it. Next up is MEAT THE FUTURE (25th) which takes a look into the lab-grown meat industry. As it follows the fortunes of one California-based company, the documentary asks if ‘clean meat’ might be an ethical and pro-environmental alternative to conventional production. We then finish with the family friendly Aardman animation CHICKEN RUN, for a chicken’s eye view. There will also be panel discussions featuring climate scientists, plant-based activists, producers and more, plus a chance to taste a range of plant-based dishes.
