Hannah Brinsden, head of policy and advocacy at the Food Foundation is with a panel from politics, policy, academia and investment to discuss what we need from the new government, including from the new food strategy and the mission boards, to really incentivize a healthier food system and ensure everyone can access and afford a healthy diet.
The episode is part of our recipe for change campaign led by Sustain, The Food Foundation, Obesity Health Alliance, with a wider coalition of nearly 50 supporting organisations. The campaign is calling for the government to introduce a new tax on food companies to encourage them to improve the healthiness of the food they sell us and play their part in supporting our health.
To discuss the opportunities of the new government and what is to come, Hannah is joined by Alison Tedstone, former Department of Health and Public Health England chief nutritionist; conservative peer, James Bethell; Adam Briggs from the Health Foundation and Antony Yousefian, a partner at The First Thirty Ventures.
