Episode Description
Sophie Healy-Thow is an Irish food systems and nutrition advocate. She is the founder of Act4Food Act4Change, a global youth-led campaign. And currently serves as Food Systems Coordinator for Belfast City Council. She also sits on the Advisory Board of EAT and is a Lead Group Member of the UN's Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement.
We explore what meaningful youth engagement in food systems actually looks like, and why it so often falls short.
You'll hear about the school science project that first launched her into food systems advocacy, why she believes cities are the next frontier of food systems transformation, and Sophie shares her candid thoughts on whether the UN is still relevant in the current global climate.
