As the climate changes, how can we protect our food systems and our health?

The climate is changing, and this is affecting our environment, how we live, work, what we eat, and ultimately our health. This is particularly the case for people in vulnerable communities. For World Environment Day, in this episode of The Scan we discuss the environment health nexus with two speakers about their work in India. 

Research Manager Sarah Iqbal speaks with Mr Gangaram Paikra, a local leader, activist and one of the founder members of Chaupal, a community-led initiative focusing on the right to food working with marginalised and poor communities. Sarah also speaks with Dr. Sahiba Kohli, a Research Fellow at NIHR Global Health Research Center for Non-Communicable Diseases and Environmental Change. Read more about the Center here.
