Governing the Plate in Latin America: Lessons in Food Policy and Public Health from Brazil and Chile
August 13th – This lecture by Kathryn E. Peters from UNM’s Latin American and Iberian Institute will focus on comparative food policy, looking at Brazil’s national dietary guidelines alongside U.S. food guidelines, both in terms of how they were developed and their public health outcomes. The talk will also briefly incorporate Chile’s front-of-package food labeling policies. Together, these cases offer compelling examples from Latin America of governments prioritizing public health and social well-being over corporate food industry interests, and they open up broader questions about what is politically possible in food policy.
