It can seem like everything about your diet is environmentally problematic. You’ve been told not to eat meat. You’ve been told you should be vegan, but that you shouldn’t eat avocados if you don’t live in Mexico, and that drinking almond milk is also problematic. You’ve been told that you should only source local produce, but not in all cases – if you live in the UK, apparently Spanish tomatoes can be more sustainable than British ones.

These messages are out there for a reason – the global food system is indeed in crisis, and the future of food looks bleak if nothing changes. But according to Mike Hamm, the solution is not as simple as changing what you eat (although that is part of it). The system can become the solution rather than the problem, if we make some radical changes to it. He lists eight ways we can avert a food crisis – including changes to supply chains, farming practices and new reward structures for farmers, as well as altered consumption patterns.

And artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of our lives, but how far are we from creating a machine that could successfully perform any intellectual task that a human can? For The Conversation’s latest event in partnership with the Royal Institution, we’ve brought together four leading experts – Wendy Hall, Bradley Love, Adam Stanton, and Raia Hadsell – to discuss whether we’ll see artificial general intelligence within our lifetimes and what it means for humanity. Tickets for tonight’s event in London are available here.
