ABOUT
The CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute is pleased to share a recent podcast episode from Bioethics in the Margins featuring our Senior Faculty Fellow and co-founder, Nicholas Freudenberg, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the City University of New York School of Public Health.
In this conversation, Dr. Freudenberg discusses the Commercial Determinants of Health and how corporate practices shape patterns of health and disease globally. Drawing on his books, At What Cost: Modern Capitalism and the Future of Health and Lethal but Legal: Corporations, Consumption, and Protecting Public Health, and his contributions to a series in The Lancet, he highlights how policy and advocacy can shift corporate behavior to achieve population-level public health gains, particularly in industries such as tobacco, fossil fuels, and food.
