In this episode of Earth in Focus, we dig into the environmental impact of our global food systems. Agriculture accounts for nearly one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions, drives 80% of deforestation, and consumes 70% of the world’s freshwater. From industrial farming to food waste, our current systems are unsustainable, but change is possible. We explore climate-smart farming, plant-based diets, and food equity solutions that nourish both people and the planet. Discover how your plate can be a tool for environmental change with tips and resources.

In this episode of Earth in Focus, we uncover the devastating effects of deforestation: an issue responsible for the loss of over 10 million hectares of forest every year. Forests are critical for absorbing carbon dioxide, protecting biodiversity, and supporting Indigenous communities, yet they continue to disappear at alarming rates due to agriculture, logging, and mining. We’ll explore the root causes, global consequences, and promising solutions like reforestation, sustainable land use, and consumer awareness.

From smog-filled cities to indoor smoke from cooking fires, polluted air causes around 7 million premature deaths each year. We break down the major sources: vehicles, industry, agriculture, and their devastating impacts on human health and the environment. Discover innovative solutions like green energy, stricter regulations, and urban planning, and find out how you can breathe easier and take action.

In this episode of Earth in Focus, we explore the growing crisis of biodiversity loss and why it matters to every living being on the planet. With nearly 48% of animal species experiencing population declines and ecosystems under threat from habitat destruction, climate change, and pollution, the urgency to act has never been greater. We’ll discuss the vital role biodiversity plays in food security, medicine, and climate stability, and highlight powerful conservation strategies.

In this episode of Earth in Focus, we dive into the alarming reality of the global water crisis. With over 2 billion people lacking access to safe drinking water and 3.6 billion without adequate sanitation, water scarcity is one of the most urgent environmental and humanitarian issues of our time. We examine the causes: from overuse and pollution to climate change, and explore real-world solutions like efficient irrigation and rainwater harvesting. Tune in to understand the scope of the problem and learn how you can take action.

Plastic is everywhere: from the ocean floors to the food we eat. In this episode of Earth in Focus, we explore the global plastic pollution crisis, with over 8 million tons of plastic entering our oceans each year.
