Global health leaders to address drivers of unhealthy food systems (University of Sidney)

University of Sydney (Charles Perkins Centre) published a press release about the 2021 Global Food Governance Conference that will address the political, economic and colonial systems and corporate structures that produce harmful food systems. Senior research coordinator, Namukolo Covic, in her keynote address will discuss outcomes from the UN Food Systems Summit. Earlier this year, Covic wrote that the summit was an “important moment to garner political and financial attention to the challenges that food systems face.” She stressed, however, that there must be “robust accountability mechanisms to ensure that commitments to address food systems challenges are upheld.
