Enough food is produced worldwide to feed 10 billion people, yet hunger is on the rise. While vulnerable populations from the Global North cannot afford healthy and nourishing food, a growing number of people from the Global South must battle every day to simply get access to food. The current food system leaves many behind, putting profit before people. But such injustice is not irreversible: political leaders, from any level, must commit to reshaping our food system and giving it back its true purpose: nourishing everyone.  
Why is there food poverty and with what consequences? Who suffers from food poverty? What should the political answer be to help fight against it? You’ll learn all about in this episode, where we take you on a journey across the world, from the Global South to the Global North, with our guests:
Nicole Pita, project manager at the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food)
Alba Gil, policy officer at the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA)
Samanta Vergati, environmental economist, member of the Slow Food community in Paris, and founder of the NGO “Altrimenti”
