A diverse diet is important for both human health and sustainable ecosystems. Our guest this week is Dr. Gina Kennedy, Director of Research, Translation and Impact for the Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) and Principal Scientist with the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT. We discuss the importance of diet and food biodiversity, the goals of PTFI to advance scientific understanding and use of food composition data, and PTFI's efforts to promote a healthier food system. Dr. Kennedy highlights the initiative's global collaboration through Centers of Excellence and addresses how the data on food composition can help tackle global nutrition and health challenges.
