Webinar: Policy coherence analysis
What it is and what it means for our food system
FRIDAY, 6 December 2024
12:00NN to 1:00PM AEST | 1:00 to 2:00PM ADST
ONLINE MS Teams
Food policy spans all the processes of producing and distributing foods, from the natural resources like water and soils that support agricultural production, through the manufacturing and distribution of food to consumption and its impacts on nutrition and human health. Meeting our growing aspirations of the food system requires policies that are more connected and aligned.
Analysing for policy coherence is about understanding how different approaches reinforce of contradict each other in meeting societal aspirations. Join us in hearing from Dr Jessica Bogard and Dr Severine van Bommel who will share their approaches to policy coherence analysis.
