Episode 39: Interview with Kat Morgan on Equitable Food Systems

In this episode, PHPN Career Network Member and Podcaster Kat Morgan shares her newest podcast series on climate, environment and food systems:

"It's essential for public health leaders to take a multifaceted approach to research and practice, incorporating awareness of climate change impact pathways on the food system from an environmental justice perspective. Rising temperatures and extreme weather events caused by climate change are already impacting public health, and food production and distribution are linked to climate change and often contribute to health disparities, especially for marginalized communities who lack access to healthy and sustainable food. Environmental injustice is further perpetuated through unequal food systems. However, there are mitigation opportunities that involve addressing environmental injustice drivers and utilizing mechanisms for public health advocacy and change-making.

Through Oh Crop!, my hope is to leave listeners with a robust understanding of these issues, with the take-home message that climate change and food systems are important factors in determining population health equity."
