Food for Health is my specialized food policy consultancy.
As a global food and nutrition expert, I bring stakeholders and leaders from the food, agriculture, academic, government and health sectors together to disrupt old norms, reach new consensus, and create working strategies to solve some of America’s most pressing health problems.
In my new groundbreaking book, How Big Food Will End Hunger and Can Save the Planet, I call for a transformation in the food industry. The food system needs to shift from one tethered to profits to one which provides equitable, affordable, sustainable, and healthy food for all.
