The World Food Academy 4 Sustainable Food Systems registration is open for its foundational opening lecture, "Food Systems Challenges and Opportunities for Enhancing Health, Enterprise and Environmental Outcomes," delivered by Dr. John Ingram, Senior Research Fellow at Somerville College, University of Oxford.
The lecture will introduce what a food systems approach entails and how it helps to identify, how and where, the food system impacts health, other social and economic outcomes and the environment. This draws on an understanding of the wide range of food system activities from consuming food through to primary production (a ‘fork-to-farm’ approach), the actors involved, and the drivers that influence their decisions.
Developed by the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH), the World Food Academy brings together universities, international organizations, research institutions and industry partners to offer free, science-based learning opportunities. It aims to equip university students, early-career researchers, and practitioners with the knowledge and skills to contribute to more sustainable, resilient, and equitable food systems.
