Scalable Strategies for Improving Diet and Mitigating Climate Change
Every year, 500,000 Americans die from preventable diseases caused in part by unhealthy diets. And every year, food production accounts for up to one-third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Join this MCHRI seminar to learn about how policy changes and other scalable interventions could make our diets healthier and our food systems more sustainable.
This talk will provide evidence about whether interventions like warning labels and point-of-purchase swap recommendations can encourage healthier diets and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with food production.
Speakers:
Anna Grummon, PhD, MSPH, Principal Investigator, Stanford Food Policy Lab; Assistant Professor, Pediatrics and, by courtesy, Health Policy
Amanda Zeitlin, MPH, Project Coordinator, Stanford Food Policy Lab; Social Science Research Professional, Pediatrics
