Food for Health: From Greed to Care

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that aims to drive positive change and shape the future of our food and health systems

In the face of the complex challenges our era presents, adopting a systemic perspective is imperative. The recent report by the UN Special Rapporteur on Health regarding "Food, Nutrition, and the Right to Health" underscores the intricate and diverse links between food and health systems. These connections, which are multifaceted and warrant further exploration, touch all aspects of our lives, directly or indirectly. This event will feature the special rapporteurs on the right to health and the right to food, who will elaborate on the crucial interconnections that require prioritization at the governance level for the public good.

Additionally, the webinar will showcase insights from national-level experiences, academia, and representatives from civil society organizations already implementing these interconnected approaches in practice.

  • Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, United Nations' Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health
  • Michael Fakhri, United Nations' Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food
  • Dr. Ruy Lopez, Vice-Minister of Health, Mexico
