Kenneth R. Farrell Distinguished Public Policy Lectureship, Presented By Dr. Joseph Balagtas
We are honored to welcome Dr. Joseph Balagtas, Professor of Agricultural Economics and Director of the Center for Food Demand at Purdue University, as the featured speaker.
Dr. Balagtas will explore the current landscape of what we eat and what that means for our health, with a particular focus on the growing scrutiny of ultra-processed foods and the impact of GLP-1 drugs. Simple economics, data, and lessons from the history of food and nutrition policy will be used to reflect on the promise and pitfalls of public policy aimed at improving consumer choices.
