Ultra Processed Food: A threat to human and planetary health

18.00 - 19.45 GMT

The vast health and environmental cost of ultra-processed foods is avoidable. These foods are harmful, damaging the environment and are unnecessary for human nutrition. Diets high in ultra-processed foods are linked with poor health outcomes, including heart disease, type-2 diabetes, cancer and depression, among others. 

Reducing our consumption and production of ultra-processed foods is an opportunity to improve our health and the environmental sustainability of the food system.  

Join us and hear from influential speakers on the latest updates and potential solutions to the impact of Ultra Processed Food on planetary and human health.
