About this Event
In his speech, Dr David Nabarro will reflect on local and national priorities regarding food systems transformation, an area where Ireland is an acknowledged leader. He will also focus on interconnected challenges such as climate action and sustainable development. Dr Nabarro will present his experience of the catalysing effect of systems thinking and adopting a people-centred approach when tackling inter-connected challenges, such as food systems transformation. He will argue that such an approach must be adapted to the interests of people of the lowest incomes and with the least agency. Dr Nabarro will conclude that this novel way of thinking and working together will have the greatest likelihood of long-term success.
