In this episode of our Nutrition podcast we look at food poverty and the cost of a minimum food basket on the island of Ireland. We talk to Dr Bernadette Mac Mahon, Director of Vincentian Partnership for Social Justice, and Robert Thornton who works with her as Senior Research and Policy Officer. They are the researchers behind safefood’s reports on the cost of a healthy food basket on the island of Ireland.
The safefood Nutrition podcast is presented by Dr Aileen McGloin, safefood’s Director of Marketing and Communications, and looks at key issues like obesity, weight stigma, sustainability and health in the media.
