Can We Really Eat the Invaders? (video)
<p>The ABC TV series Eat The Invaders has sparked curiosity—and controversy—by asking a bold question: Can we eat our way out of Australia’s invasive species crisis?</p><p><br></p><p>Who better to answer this question than some of the creators of this wild and thought-provoking show, Matthew Bate and Poppy Fitzpatrick? In this episode, host Prof Andy Lowe celebrates their bold vision, of turning a complex environmental issue into a conversation-starter (or perhaps tasty appetiser) for everyone. </p><p><br></p><p>From cane toads to cats, they took a fun, fresh approach to a topic that’s often met with frustration and fatigue. But here’s the catch though: while eating invasive species might make for great TV, science tells us it’s not going to be the miracle cure. So what is? Andy unpacks the hard reality of tackling this environmental crisis—where suppression strategies like targeted viruses and ecosystem restoration come into play.</p><p><br></p><p>One thing’s for sure: this series has people talking again, and we’re here to keep the conversation going. So, what do you think—would you put cane toad on your plate?</p><p><br></p><p>Andy and his colleague, Professor Phill Cassey, served as scientific advisors for the show, ensuring that the balance between entertainment and ecological accuracy was spot-on.</p><p><br></p><p>* video cast available on Spotify https://tinyurl.com/45ft9epy and YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@EcoFuturists</p><p><br></p><p>Eco Futurists is supported by the Environment Institute https://www.adelaide.edu.au/environment/ at the University of Adelaide http://www.adelaide.edu.au/. </p><p><br></p><p>Learn More</p><p><br></p><p>Book: Eat the Problem by Kirsha Kaechele of Mona<a href="https://shop.mona.net.au/products/eat-the-problem?srsltid=AfmBOoqRQnzTe6kOsR_LR7_nxOYzB0jt67rVuEPVJy7s-aV4gVJnhOPf">https://shop.mona.net.au/products/eat-the-problem?srsltid=AfmBOoqRQnzTe6kOsR_LR7_nxOYzB0jt67rVuEPVJy7s-aV4gVJnhOPf</a></p><p><br></p><p>Eat The Invaders on ABC iview<a href="https://iview.abc.net.au/show/eat-the-invaders">https://iview.abc.net.au/show/eat-the-invaders</a></p><p><br></p><p>Closer Productions<a href="https://closerproductions.com.au/episodic/eat-the-invaders">https://closerproductions.com.au/episodic/eat-the-invaders</a></p><p><br></p><p>University of Adelaide press release, Eat The Invaders<a href="https://www.adelaide.edu.au/newsroom/news/list/2025/01/03/university-academics-help-abc-host-eat-the-invaders">https://www.adelaide.edu.au/newsroom/news/list/2025/01/03/university-academics-help-abc-host-eat-the-invaders</a></p><p><br></p><p>Professor Phill Cassey<a href="https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/phill.cassey">https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/phill.cassey</a></p><p><br></p><p>Get In Touch</p><p><br></p><p>You can contact Eco Futurists podcast <a href="mailto:ecofuturists@gmail.com">ecofuturists@gmail.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Enjoying the show?
