Malnutrition is a crisis affecting both the developed and developing worlds. Both adult and children’s health are compromised by inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, and horticultural production globally is threatened by unpredictable weather events, disease, insect damage and lack of research funding at the required level.
Come along to hear how you can get ahead of the game by advocating for change on a global basis, helping us be better prepared for imminent climate emergencies, and ultimately making sure that they and their grandchildren’s health is maintained by a sensible choice of diet.
