Part one of Dr Mandy Bergstrom's address to the 'Hope for Health 2022' event on 11th August at AUT University in central Auckland.

Mandy answers the question; "How big a role does diet play?" by drawing on a recent Lancet paper; 'Health effects of dietary risks in 195 countries'. Mandy also draws on New Zealand research showing the causes of health loss, and refers to a paper on the effects of diet on climate change.

Mandy then introduces 'The Planetary Health Plate' and highlights the trillions of health dollars that could be saved if people changed their diets.
