Shaping Food environments from Accra to Stockholm
Unhealthy diets are now a leading risk factor for premature mortality in both Sweden and Ghana, while food systems also contribute significantly to environmental pressures worldwide. Transforming food environments requires evidence-based research that can be adapted to diverse local contexts.
This webinar brings together leading researchers and practitioners from Accra to Stockholm to explore food environments, youth perspectives, and the political economy of the food industry. The programme includes insights from the Political Economy Analysis of the Food Industry (PEAFI) project, focusing on adolescents’ lived experiences of food environments in Tamale, Ghana.
