Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
Welcome to the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability and Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton!
This podcast explores the greatest and most wicked problem that is sustainability, whilst looking at how we are collectively addressing this critical global challenge.
Sustainability needs to be addressed by understanding how the economy, society, culture, politics and environment intersect, and this is the focus that informs each episode of the Meliora podcast.
In each episode, host Professor Simon Kemp and guest hosts are joined by a variety of guests, including academics, students, staff, researchers, alumni, community groups and business leaders.
The aim of the podcast is to shine a light on the vast range of topics surrounding sustainability and to allow listeners to learn about the critical challenges we face, as well as how they can be part of the solution. We also ensure our fantastic students have the opportunity to share their brilliant work with the world.

Student Takeover Season: Should Sustainable Food Systems be a new SDG18?
This episode of the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton is part of the Global Sustainability Challenges module student takeover season where we discuss whether sustainable food systems should be the 18th Sustainable Development Goal.
We address the concept of sustainability and food systems while exploring the impacts and implications. The conversation develops further when discussing the benefits and problems faced with introducing another SDG, specifically the idea of sustainable food systems as a new SDG18.
