We have a broken global food system that is ravaging both the planet and our health. But technology can help us to change our ways

Farmers in the UK are seeing two-thirds of the rainfall they normally would in the driest summer since 1976 and Europe is baking. The way we currently feed ourselves isn’t just killing the planet, it’s killing us too and we only have ourselves to blame.

Buy Now Pay Later. What’s now and what’s later?
Buy now, pay later is a method of payment with instalments at a small or interest-free rate. The payment method sky-rocketed in 2020. But why? The COVID-19 pandemic. The global crisis created job insecurity, with people seeking alternative means to sourcing income. However, the paradox lies in the fact that people flooded to shopping online and relying on ecommerce because of closed brick and mortar establishments.

Is globalisation done or done very well?
Over the past few years doomsayers have pointed to state protectionism, the Covid pandemic and now the Ukraine conflict as signs that the post-cold war growth of globalisation is on the decline. More pointedly, in the digital realm, the fears are that the world is splintering into different versions of the internet with three dominant models of handling data – US corporate driven and two-tiered, Chinese state regulated and a European privacy led model.
