Description:

Meat is becoming a major battleground in the culture wars, but how and why is this happening? Investigative reporter Clare Carlile explains how far-right populists, conspiracy theorists, government departments, lobbyists and PR firms are all contributing to the push to get us to eat more meat.

Clare Carlile is a journalist focussing on environmental and social issues. She is currently an investigative reporter for the award-winning environmental news outlet DeSmog.

Clare earned a BA in English Literature and Languages from Oxford University in 2017. She went on to work as a news and features editor - and eventually co-editor - at The Ethical Consumer Magazine, where she specialised in migrant workers’ rights.

Since 2022, she has worked as a researcher at Desmog, an international journalism platform that investigates misinformation and monitors individuals and organisations opposing climate science and environmental policy. Clare’s work focuses on agribusiness and food politics, exposing how misinformation and lobbying are used to obstruct climate action.
   
Her investigations have been covered by the organisations including the Financial Times, Politico, and The Guardian.
