SSFI-ESLC Lunchtime Seminar - Regulatory Tools for Healthy and Sustainable Diets: Opportunities, Challenges, and a Just Transition

SYNOPSIS

Most talk of transitions involve climate change and the transition to a decarbonised economy. But we need to look beyond just the energy system. The agri-food system is also an important driver of climate change as well as biodiversity loss, pollution, and non-communicable human diseases. This talk will discuss a recent UK research study exploring the role of law and regulation in transforming food systems onto a healthier and more sustainable basis. What are the challenges, what are the opportunities, and how do we ensure that this transition is a just one? These are all questions that the talk will address.
