The way we are producing and eating food today is making people and the planet sick. We are eating too much food of the wrong food, eating too little food, wasting food and using up as much of the planet’s resources as much as possible to feed growing populations. It seems that things can only get worse.
Food Legacy however, likes to see the bowl half full. We know that as much as there are an infinite number of problems out there, there are also an infinite number of solutions. Food Legacy works with business, government, education and the community to develop credible and tangible solutions to our food crises. Our mission is to provide healthy and sustainable food for generations to come. This is our Food Legacy.
Dr Sinead Boylan has a degree and PhD in nutrition and currently works as a researcher and lecturer in food systems and planetary health. She have spent the last couple of decades researching tens of thousands of diets across the globe, from Siberia to Brunei. What have she found? The food that most of us eat is damaging not only our own health, but the health of the planet. While this has seemed overwhelmingly depressing at times, her research has also helped shaped national policies to support healthier food systems. We know that solutions are out there and we want to share these with you.
