Episode 1 covers Background, Theory, and Tools to understand the interconnections between climate change, food systems, and environmental justice.
This episode discusses:
- Climate change, environmental justice, and food systems are all closely tied to public health.
- Climate change is causing rising temperatures and more extreme weather events, which can lead to health problems. It's also changing how we produce and distribute food, which is a major contributor to climate change.
- Unfortunately, marginalized communities often face limited access to healthy and sustainable food options, which can lead to health disparities. The way we grow and distribute food causes environmental injustice, especially for marginalized communities who are often left out of global food supply chains or exploited within them.
- Mitigation opportunities, including covering the drivers of environmental injustice and mechanisms to use in public health advocacy and change-making.
