The double burden of malnutrition | Eve Millerot | TEDxYouth@EEB3

The theme of this year’s TEDxYouth@EEB3 event is “When Worlds Collide”, an inspiring and broad theme that has been interpreted in different ways by the speakers. These speakers are from various disciplines and backgrounds: • 1/3 EEB3 students • 1/3 EEB3 teachers and staff • 1/3 external speakers (including three EEB3 alumni) In pursuing a common goal of sharing ideas and bringing to light new perspectives from our community, the TEDxYouth@EEB3 team hopes to spark conversation and provide food for thought to anyone who wishes to tune in (either online or in-person). The event aims to highlight what possibilities lie in “World’s colliding”, as well as to offer pupils, teachers and staff at EEB3 a range of insights on “collisions” in science, languages, sport, mental health and more. In recent years, research in nutrition has expanded and shown the many complex and intimate links existing between the food we eat and our environment. However, with the world-changing and the ultra-processing of nearly every food item, new forms of Malnutrition are arising with families having both undernourished and overnourished people in their household. Care and prevention thus need to be redesigned to adequately reach the people affected by this Double Burden. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
