Misinformation Alert: Four misleading food and climate narratives
Summary
The document highlights the critical link between food systems and climate change, noting that while agriculture is a high environmental cost and vulnerable to rising temperatures, misinformation is increasingly shaping the views of 'Persuadables' on climate action. It aims to equip communicators with strategies to address four major misleading narratives in the food and climate information environment.
Key insights
- Modern agricultural and food processing systems impose a high net cost on the environment, while global food production is simultaneously hindered by increasing temperatures.
- Misinformation and negative narratives concerning the intersection of food and climate are currently influencing the perspectives of 'Persuadables' regarding both individual and collective climate actions.
