About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast! Today, I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Jane Smith, the lead instructor for the new Postgraduate Certificate in Immune-Boosting Food Justice. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about what drew you to this field? GUEST: Absolutely! I've always been passionate about nutrition and its impact on overall health. But I realized that not everyone has equal access to these immune-boosting foods. That's where the concept of food justice came in, and it's been a rewarding journey ever since. HOST: It's fascinating how interconnected nutrition and equity are. Could you share some current trends in the industry related to this course? GUEST: Sure. There's growing recognition of the importance of holistic approaches to community health, which includes addressing food inequality. Also, there's increased interest in plant-based diets for their immune-boosting properties, making this course very timely. HOST: That sounds relevant given the current health climate. Now, every field has its challenges. What would you say are some obstacles in combining nutrition and food justice? GUEST: A major challenge is systemic change. It takes time and collaboration across sectors to create sustainable solutions. Additionally, combating misinformation around both nutrition and social justice issues can be challenging. HOST: That's true. But with determination and the right knowledge, we can overcome these hurdles. Looking ahead, where do you see the future of immune-boosting food justice? GUEST: I believe we'll continue seeing more interdisciplinary collaborations, integrating fields like public health, urban planning, and social work. This comprehensive approach will help us tackle food inequality more effectively while promoting wellness. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today.
