In his book, Food Fight: From Plunder and Profit to People and Planet, nutrition and food policy expert Dr Stuart Gillespie reveals how the system we once relied upon for global nutrition has warped into the very thing making us sick, and maps a way towards a new system that gives us hope for a future of global health and justice.

Stuart is joined by Professor Iain Wilkinson, leader of the University of Kent’s ‘Right To Food’ initiative.

Stuart Gillespie has been fighting to transform our dysfunctional food system for the past forty years. Stuart worked with a range of UN agencies across the world, before joining the International Food Policy Research Institute in 1999. Here he founded the Regional Network on AIDS, Livelihoods and Food Security, the Transform Nutrition research consortium, a flagship Agriculture for Nutrition and Health programme and the Stories of Change initiative, amongst a host of other interventions in public food and nutrition policy. Stuart’s newsletter, Food Fight Files, tackles the political and commercial drivers of food injustice and malnutrition and what can and should be done about them.
