Abstract
Join us for the next webinar in our Food for Thought series.
UPFs exists thanks to industrial processes and international long-haul transport, which favour homogenous, uniformly packaged, ready-to-eat, long-life foodstuffs. Good for global supply chains and ‘big food’, but perhaps less than optimal for human health.
Can we feed the world without UPFs? Is healthier, less processed food an economically and environmentally viable option for the world’s population? What about the cost of the health problems that UPFs are increasingly proven to cause?
