Dear Planetary Health Changemaker,
This month, the Planetary Health Alliance spotlighted food systems: what we consume—and how it is produced—influences the ecosystems that sustain all life and shapes human health and well-being.
Environmental changes like rising CO₂ can reduce nutrients in staple crops, while agricultural pressures such as habitat loss, pesticides, and other forms of pollution are contributing to pollinator declines that threaten access to fruits, vegetables, and other protein-rich crops. At the same time, more than a billion people – largely low-income and marginalized communities – face food insecurity and malnutrition.
This month, we explored opportunities like the Planetary Health Diet and Brazil’s Food Detective program to advance nutrition while helping create a more just and regenerative food system for all.
