Today we’re talking to Tom Arnold, Member of the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition, and EAT’s Policy Officer Emily Norford about how rapidly rising urbanization in low and middle-income countries is adversely affecting diets and health.
We explore the role regulators, private sector and civil society can play to promote healthier urban food environments and what one can learn from measures introduced by cities like Copenhagen, Quito, and Vancouver ranging from public procurement of organic food to urban agriculture programs.
