Wondering how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the food supply? We've got the experts and every day people who can tell you what's happening, and how we got here. Each podcast also explores what needs to happen next in order to create a more just and sustainable food system.
Our vision for The Leading Voices in Food podcast series is to offer wide-ranging perspectives and knowledge from researchers, community leaders, policy-makers, farmers and more. We will feature topics across the food system spectrum such as food insecurity, obesity, agriculture, access and equity, food safety, food defense, and food policy issues.
Duke University’s World Food Policy Center develops coordinated and inclusive food policies. Our approach bridges key areas of food policies and systems to improve human wellbeing, environmental health, and equity. At the heart of this work, we learn from and connect unique voices—including people most affected by food system challenges.
Departments and programs across Duke offers a wealth of undergraduate and graduate courses that can inform and empower students interested in making change within the dynamic world of food systems.
The WFPC will gladly talk with and advise any student with an interest in food policy and food system equity.
