Slow Food Goes Brussels: reconciling food and health

Food and health are intimately connected. But while the impact of the overconsumption of ultra-processed food on our body is well known by all of us, other negative phenomena directly linked to the production of food are not. Although they endanger human health, but also that of the planet. During Slow Food’s international event on sustainable food systems, Terra Madre, that took place last September in Turin, Alice Poiron interviewed three remarkable speakers to shed light on the complex relationship between food and health, and on which policy solutions exist to reconcile them, in a world where industrial, polluting farming is the norm, not the exception: Nikolai Pushkarev: Senior policy officer at European Public Health Alliance  Corinna Hawkes: Director of the Centre for Food Policy, City, University of London Nina Wolff: Director of Slow Food Germany and board member of Slow Food International Do not hesitate to follow @SlowFoodEurope on Twitter, as well as our guests: @EPHA_EU, @agrifoodhealth, @WolffNina and @CorinnaHawkes.
