Frauke Huber and Uwe H. Martin document the global social and ecological impacts of agriculture—the leading driver of species extinction, climate change, soil erosion, desertification, and water scarcity. In their presentation, they put their Slow Journalism up for discussion. They will demonstrate how stories can be successfully followed for years and presented not only in traditional media, but also in an international art and research context in order to reach a diverse audience in the long term and trigger discussions beyond the media bubble. They will reflect why documenting ecological and social challenges of our times is not enough anymore, how we can assume responsibility for our future, why storytelling is essential to unlock societal transformation and how journalists can position themselves in an increasingly complex future.
