Podcast: Harnessing the planning process to create healthier environments with Gillian Morgan

The Food Active podcast aims to explore how we can collectively promote healthy weight, by looking at the social, environmental, economic and legislative factors which influence our lifestyle choices.

The latest episode of the Food Active podcast is now live!

In this episode, we spoke with Gillian Morgan, a policy planner, now retired as a chartered town planner, about the role of planning in improving our food environments and the recently developed Cheshire and Merseyside Food Policy and Planning toolkit, designed to support public health teams and local authority planners in shaping healthier places.

If there is a topic you would like us to discuss or if you would like to feature as a guest on our podcast, please email chloe.higham-smith@foodactive.org.uk.
