Best of: How the humble refrigerator changed the world
Manage episode 457527878 series 3399112
The “cold chain” that delivers our food is inconspicuous but vast. The US alone boasts around 5.5 billion cubic feet of refrigerated space; that’s 150 Empire State Buildings’ worth of freezers. Now, the developing world is catching up. On Zero, Nicola Twilley, author of Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves, discusses how refrigeration became so ubiquitous and what our reliance on it means for our palates and the planet.

- Past episode with journalist George Monbiot on how the world’s food system needs a radical rethink
- Past episode with two vertical farming companies taking agriculture indoors
