Quezon City: Healthy Food for People and the Planet

In this episode, we dive deep into the public food procurement process in Quezon City, Philippines.

While exploring the city’s new procurement programme, the guests walk us through Quezon City’s journey towards serving healthy and sustainable food in schools, hospitals and canteens, and how food and food procurement fundamentally are tools to create a sense of community especially in times of crisis, like we’ve seen with the COVID-19 pandemic.
