SUMMIT, Sourcing Matters has launched the
2021 miniseries 'Laying Down Tracks'.

episodes, host Aaron Niederhelman curates an 8-part
series featuring conversations with influencers and
champions who are set on making this once in a decade gathering
have impact.
“Food is our most intimate connection to nature and our best chance
to save a shrinking planet,” explains Sourcing Matters host Aaron
Niederhelman. “It’s the food we eat that is the elixir to
instigate conversations and evolve mindsets which can stave off
existential threats. It’s food and its production that acts
as the primary course of action for improving the human condition
and advancing climate action,” Niederhelman continues.
To amplify an appreciation for the role of well sourced food in
addressing hunger, malnutrition, social welfare and climate change
– Sourcing Matters show is collaborating with the UN Food Systems
Summit to capture leading voices defining solutions of change.
The goal of the miniseries is to crawl into the ears of more folks
through diverse discussions about how we can all be part of this
historical movement. Episodes take a deep dive into the Summit’s
Action Tracks and frame these chats around real world experiences
in rolling out the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to
stimulate new perspectives.
We believe that engaging in fun, informal and informative
conversations gives us all a better chance to get to know a bit
more about the mettle of the people who are leading the fight for a
more just and stable tomorrow. You see, In all corners the process
of producing and sourcing food in a modern world has evolved with
consequence on our health and that of the planet. “Three
times daily we can vote for the planet and each other in what we
decide to eat,” concludes Niederhelman.
