Panel Discussion: UNPROCESSED ' Taking Back Our Plates!

20 Jun 2026
Teaching nutrition alone is not enough if people lack the confidence, skills and opportunity to cook. This session will explore the rise of ultra-processed foods, the decline in cooking literacy, and the urgent need to reconnect individuals and communities with real, minimally processed food. It will highlight how restoring everyday cooking skills and reclaiming a vibrant real food culture can empower healthier lives, stronger communities, and a more hopeful future for public health.
