In this episode of Our Future Nature, Sean Lee-Davies interviews Ludo Brockway and Mark Galvin, co-producers of the documentary "Eating Our Way to Extinction". Ludo is also the nephew of Sir Richard Branson.

They discussed the urgent need for change in our food choices, shedding light on the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Through their film, they aim to educate the public about the hidden impacts of our current food systems and advocate for a transition to plant-based diets.

The conversation emphasizes the interconnectedness of various environmental issues, the spiritual and emotional loss associated with biodiversity depletion, and the benefits of transitioning to a plant-based diet for both personal health and the well-being of the planet. That's not all, Ludo and Mark shared their filmmaking experience in Brazil and unknown dangers of producing a conservation documentary in unchartered territories.
Ludo and Mark's insights underscore the importance of conscious food choices and the interconnectedness of food, sustainability, and human flourishing in creating a more sustainable future. This episode is a must-listen for environmental activists and documentary filmmakers seeking inspiration and practical insights into promoting sustainable living and conservation.
