Food is more than fuel. It’s deeply connected to the health of our bodies, our communities, and our environment. In this episode, we explore the intersection of sustainability and malnutrition, two global challenges that are shaping the future of food.

We begin by defining what sustainability means in both personal health and environmental terms, breaking down how our food choices influence climate change, soil health, and water use. From there, we turn to malnutrition, a complex issue that takes many forms, from undernutrition to the rising rates of chronic disease. Together, these realities highlight the “double burden of malnutrition,” a phenomenon seen worldwide but expressed differently in developed and developing regions. Beyond health, we’ll also consider the economic and social impacts of unsustainable food systems, including food insecurity and limited access to nourishing foods. Finally, we’ll share solutions that serve both people and the planet; practical strategies that promote better health while reducing strain on natural resources.

Whether you’re interested in nutrition, global health, or environmental change, this conversation will give you a deeper understanding of how what’s on our plates is linked to the bigger picture, and how thoughtful choices can create a healthier future for all.
