"Food Sustainability and the Media: Linking Awareness, Knowledge and Action: Chapter 5 Can we slow climate change while feeding a hungry world? Media narratives about the food−water−energy nexus

Media framing of food sustainability informs public dialogue about the food–water–energy nexus, agri-food corporate social responsibility, food safety, and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food industry. The media also raise awareness about the growing global consumption of red and processed meats and other animal-based food products, farm animal welfare, the development and marketing of alternatives to meat and dairy products, food scarcity, and food riots. Environmental storytelling has promoted food waste reduction, the local food movement, alternative food networks, and global efforts to curb hunger. Challenges in communicating about food risks include the framing of nanofoods and other food biotechnologies, genetically modified foods, food safety challenges, food risk perceptions, and the social amplification of food risks.
