Description

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

Our food chain is full of surprises and our food is handled by people you will most likely never meet. Where did your coffee come from? Who grew your cocoa for your chocolate? Who made your bread? We are about to start a journey together, finding our way through the food systems. We want to give a stage to the people, whose voices are often not taken into consideration, or who are simply overlooked in the debate around food. We want to demonstrate that we all contribute to a more sustainable food system, that everyone has a story to tell and that there’s a lesson in every single one of them. — Production by Slow Food Youth Network Hosted by Valentina Gritti Music by Leonardo Prieto Dorantes
