In this episode, Global Food Talk explores how cooperation across sectors and borders can provide solutions to one of our biggest global challenges: ensuring food security in a sustainable way.

You will hear insights from Kaveh Zahedi of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, who shares why the global food system must be addressed as part of a wider climate and biodiversity agenda, and how international cooperation is essential for impact.

The conversation then turns to Denmark, where cooperative business models are helping drive real change. Peter Giortz-Carlsen from DLG Group and Louise Helmer from VikingGenetics share how farmer-owned companies are working with governments, consumers and partners to scale sustainability without compromising productivity.

Drawing on concrete examples, from regenerative farming with Carlsberg to cross-border data sharing for cattle genetics, they show how trust-based collaboration and long-term thinking can create a more secure and resilient food future.
