Gold Standard: Brazil's Food Policy Progress
With the Rio Olympics 2016 underway, host Jenna Liut and associate producer Taylor Lanzet dive into Brazil's food system – unpacking how Brazil is combating obesity while improving farmer livelihoods through progressive policy changes.
Joined by Bridget Huber, a journalist at the Food & Environment Reporting Network, Jenna and Taylor examine how Brazil is working to shift purchases of ultra-processed foods through a sweeping national policy that advocates for the pleasure of eating.
