Paddock, Plate and Planet

Paddock, Plate and Planet

Paddock, Plate and Planet is a podcast about the journey of food — from the paddock to the plate — and the bigger task of caring for our planet in a time of climate change. We bring you conversations with the people shaping the future of food systems: First Nations voices caring for Country, farmers regenerating land and producing food, chefs and butchers rethinking how we eat, and market-makers building fairer ways to connect producers and eaters. Across paddocks, kitchens, and marketplaces, people are already testing new approaches to growing, preparing, and sharing food. Their work is building resilience, restoring ecosystems, and creating models that could transform the way we feed ourselves. These are stories about ideas and experiments, about risk, resilience, culture and care. Together, they show what it will take to create food systems that are fair, healthy and sustainable. Produced by the Macdoch Foundation, this series offers a unique perspective by connecting grassroots voices with global conversations on food, farming and climate. It shines a light on the people driving transformation from the ground up — and why their insights matter for the future of us all.

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light.
