Sustainable Food Systems & Diets
Land is where we spend nearly our entire lives and, as such, provides us with a plethora of environmental services, including food and energy. Yet, current land-use practices and food systems are contributing to ecosystem degradation and chronic diseases. Hopkins faculty across disciplines are working to shape policy and ecosystem landscape so that all people have access to nutritious, sustainable, and equitable diets.-
