Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future

The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future investigates the intersection of food systems and public health. The work we do is driven by the concept that diet, health, food production, the environment, population and equity are all elements of a single complex system. Change to one element invariably affects the others, sometimes in unpredictable ways. The mission of the Center for a Livable Future is to promote research and to develop and communicate information about the complex interrelationships among diet, food production, environment and human health, to advance an ecological perspective in reducing threats to the health of the public and to promote policies that protect health, the global environment and the ability to sustain life for future generations.
