Health in Transition: The Politics of Nutrition and Food Systems Change in Ghana

Halie Kampman, a postdoctoral scholar in Penn State’s Department of Geography, will present "Health in Transition: The Politics of Nutrition and Food Systems Change in Ghana" at the next Department of Geography's Coffee Hour lecture. 

Kampman will delve into the rapid and dramatic food system transition currently occurring in Ghana, driven by urbanization and globalization. The focus will be on the changing dietary patterns and the corresponding rise in diet-related illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
