Food Stories from the Philippines


Listen Later

Shaped by centuries of colonialism and challenged by a changing climate, what is the future of food for the Philippines?

Recent typhoons and floods were the worst seen in decades and there has been huge biodiversity loss. In the last century 93 per cent of forest cover has been lost.

The archipelago's food system also carried the influence of Spanish and American control.

However, a new generation is attempting to forge a Filipino food identity connected with a deeper history and farmers are looking to lost crops for climate adaptation.

Dan Saladino and journalist Dany Mitzman report from Slow Food's Terra Madre Asia and Pacific held on Negros Island in centre of the Philippines, where they meet young farmers, producers, chefs and campaigners all attempting to create a sustainable, delicious and indigenous food future.

Produced and presented by Dan Saladino.
