Working towards food justice – what can healthcare professionals do?

Wednesday 30th January, 2019 @ 6:45 pm8:45 pm

Medact are in the early stages of developing a campaign on how to bring about a just food system. Will you join us for a workshop to discuss access to food as a human right, and to devise a plan for how health professionals can campaign on this issue

Who is this for?

This workshop is for healthcare professionals working across the healthcare services who are interested in becoming involved with campaigns on food justice and health. 

Outline

This workshop forms the early stages of developing a campaign on identifying the barriers to a just food system. We will be collectively exploring the questions:

  • What is our vision for food justice?
  • How does the food system relate to health?
  • How do we challenge dominant narratives on food insecurity that ignore structural inequality
  • How can healthcare professionals campaign to affect every day as well as long-term sustainable change?

This will be a participatory workshop where we hope to collate ideas for action.
