Public Health Perspectives on Sustainable Diets
What we eat and how we produce that food have significant effects on human health and the sustainability of our planet. But what is a ‘sustainable’ diet?

This short course looks at the urgent need to address the sustainability of our food systems, including better understanding the complex relationship between diet and climate change.
