Our Right to Healthy Food

Improving diets by creating and maintaining healthier food systems and environments is paramount to addressing the $2 trillion global obesity epidemic. It’s a task that seems almost impossible under the deluge of ultra-processed products that make up most of our food intake. In this episode, Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health joins us to discuss her new report, “Food, nutrition and the right to health,” and how food security and nutrition are necessary elements for global progress toward all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.   Featuring:   - Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health - Isabel Barbosa, Senior Associate, Health and Human Rights Initiative at the O’Neill Institute - Luyanda Majija, Associate Director of Communication, Food Policy Program at Vital Strategies
