E6 Part 1：What we eat matters: food, health, and climate change

During the past few weeks when we took a break, we tried something new - our first episode in English! In Part 1, we are glad to interview Sarah Elizabeth Nájera Espinosa who worked at the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) for three years. Sarah shares her experiences as a flexitarian athlete and some of the projects with which she was involved at the FAO, including the benefits of microbiome for human and ecosystem health and the impacts of climate change on food security. In Part 2, we summarise the key points of the interview in Chinese. 休息了一段时间，我们做了一点新尝试：一期英文访谈（Part 1)，嘉宾是何弦的校友、在联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）工作了三年的Sarah Elizabeth Nájera Espinosa。Sarah和我们分享了她作为弹性素食者和专业游泳运动员的生活经验，以及她在FAO参与的一些项目，包括微生物组对人类和环境健康的积极作用，气候变化对粮食安全的影响等等。在Part 2，我们用中文对访谈中的关键信息做了总结和补充。 【本期剧透】 00:37 About Sarah 关于Sarah How did Sarah get into the field of food 她是如何进入食品这个领域的？ Why did she choose to become a vegetarian at 17? 她为什么在十七岁时选择成为素食主义者？ Currently a flexitarian - what does this mean? 目前是弹性素食者-弹性素食是什么意思？ Food preparation as a flexitarian athlete 弹性素食运动员的食物准备 Environmentally friendly food for ordinary people 给普通人的环境友好膳食建议 19:29 About the FAO 关于联合国粮食及农业组织 Two projects with which Sarah was involved: pesticide maximum residue limits and microbiome Sarah参与的项目：农药最大残留限量和微生物组 How is the cafeteria at the FAO like? 联合国粮食及农业组织的餐厅是什么样的？ 28:33 Challenges in promoting a vegetarian/vegan diet 推广素食/纯素食的挑战” On the controversies around PaperClip 关于视频博主“回形针“的争议 What is “vegetarian/vegan junk food” according to Sarah?
