Saving the World, with Professor Sharon Friel

Professor Sharon Friel is an ARC Laureate Fellow, Professor of Health Equity and Director of the Planetary Health Equity Hothouse and the Menzies Centre for Health Governance at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) at the Australian National University. On today’s show Sharon talks about investigating the intersection of climate change, health and social inequities through the recently launched Planetary Health Equity Hothouse. We explore these three huge topics in the context of the food system and what this means for our field and for our futures.

The Foodies in the Field podcast would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this podcast was made, the Turrbal and Yuggera people of Meanjin, as well as the lands from where Sharon was speaking and where you may be listening from today. We pay respects to elders both past and present and acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were the first foodies of this nation where food systems, knowledge and practices have always been deeply embedded in this country long before colonisation.
