Exploring the intersection of climate/environmental change, food systems, nutrition, and health: global challenge, opportunity, or both?

Changes in our climate and physical environments are having profound effects on all aspects of human existence. With efforts such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [1] and the annual UN conference on climate change (known as the UN Conference of the Parties, COP27) [2], the world is slowly coming to recognize the significance of these impacts. An area that has received increasing attention is the intersection of climate/environmental change (CEC) and food systems. Our ability to develop sustainable and resilient food systems is critical not just to the environment but to all aspects of human health.
