Our food systems are driving not only poor health outcomes but also contributing to environmental degradation and inequities. The University of Auckland's research team is working to adapt the current Food-EPI tool, used to monitor and benchmark government progress on food environments, to include sustainability, equity and health-focused indicators across the entire food supply chain.
This session offers a chance to connect with sustainability and food waste experts, learn about the Food-EPI tool and its future direction, and explore how your expertise will be essential in shaping its evolution.
