Show Notes

In this episode, Surhabi Dogra shares her insights on adolescent nutrition, healthy diets, and how these are connected to climate change. Both through her academic experiences - Surhabi has completed a Master’s in Social Work in Public Health at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences - as well as her work as Youth Commissioner for the Second Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing in India, she has a broad knowledge of issues in child and adolescent nutrition as well as experience of what that means for creating real-life solutions. 

Moreover, we dive into the dominant role that the ultra-processed food industry as well as social media advertisement play in this context.
