How Tanzania is addressing nutrition, food security and climate change with Hon. Neema Lugangira

What would happen if we treated climate change and nutrition as interconnected rather than separate issues? In the latest episode of Future Fork, we hear from Tanzanian MP Hon. Neema Lugangira as she reveals the statistics that ignited her passion for change and how policy reform can transform communities.

The Honourable Neema Lugangira is a Member of Parliament in Tanzania and Co-chair of the SUN Movement. Hon. Lugangira is a champion of policy and legislative reform and an advocate for sustainability and economic development in Tanzania and across Africa.

In this episode, Hon. Lugangira discusses the often overlooked elements of nutrition consideration in Africa, the importance of tackling nutrition and climate change together, and shares the childhood stunting statistics from her home region that ignited her passion for nutrition and agriculture and led her to seek out the parliamentary position where she could have the most direct impact.
