The Agriculture, Nutrition & Health (ANH) Academy co-organised a special session at the World Public Health Nutrition Congress, ‘Plastics: A crisis of and for the food system’.
Food systems are a major driver of global plastic production and pollution, with wide-ranging inequitable effects on human and planetary health. Used extensively from farm to fork, plastics and the thousands of hazardous chemicals they contain, are driving staggering rates of environmental pollution that reverberate throughout society, ecosystems and food chains.
Drawing on the lived experiences of populations affected by this crisis, as well as scientists and policymakers working towards the UN-led Global Plastic Treaty, this session brings together diverse voices to demonstrate why the entire plastics lifecycle – from extraction and production, to use phase and end of life – deserves the close attention of the food and nutrition community.
