Food, planet and health: a complex equation to solve

11 min watch /

The global food system impacts human health, society, and planetary well-being, with food production contributing to 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing animal-source food consumption is often proposed to improve health and environmental outcomes. However, in regions like The Gambia, increasing animal-source food intake may be necessary to address malnutrition. Tailored, region-specific solutions are crucial, as a one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to achieve global nutrition and sustainability goals
