This week we will be speaking with food, farming and science author Julian Cribb AM FRSA FTSE about his collected work: A Matter of Survival - The Human Existential Emergency: the challenge and its possible solutions.

His books include Food or War; Earth Detox; Surviving the 21st Century; and The Coming Famine.

Julian is an Australian author and science communicator. He is a Fellow of the UK Royal Society for the Arts, the Australian Academy of Technological Science and Engineering (ATSE) and the Australian National University Emeritus Faculty.

His published work includes over 9000 articles, 3000 science media releases and 12 books. He has received 32 awards for journalism. He was nominated for ACT Senior Australian of the Year in 2019. He is a co-founder of the Council for the Human Future. He was appointed a Member of the General Division of the Order of Australia (AM) in 2021.

For the past two decades his main literary focus has been the self-inflicted existential emergency faced by humanity.

As a grandfather, Julian is deeply concerned about the future our descendants will face unless humanity as a whole acts with urgency to overcome all the megarisks.
