<p>Covid-19 opens up our view to larger political, economic and
social issues previously present in our contemporary world.
Therefore to <b>call Covid-19 a pandemic, doesn’t do it justice.
Instead, we should refer to it as a ‘syndemic’. </b>To think in
terms of a syndemic enables us to think of Covid-19 and its
interaction with our<b> health- and social inequalities</b>, and
therefore its larger interconnectedness and root causes. </p>
<p>To dig deeper under the surface, we’ll dive into the relationship
between Covid-19 and food insecurity. Firstly, doctoral scholar
and research fellow <b>Jane Ezirigwe </b>from the department of
Research at the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in
Lagos, Nigeria, will highlight her research on<b> achieving the
realities of food security imperatives in terms of the
sustainable development goals on the African continent</b>. Her
research will be combined with a practical example from the
Belgian context. <b>Iris Verhoeven</b> from <b>social society
organisation Riso</b> will present on the <b>StadsAkker (City
Farm)</b>, as a way to mobilize and ensure access to affordable
and healthy food in a sustainable way, reducing food waste and
promoting solidarity on a local level.</p>
<p><b><u>Interested?</u> Register</b> on <a href="https://itg.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEsdu-pqj4jE9ICu8qP65O23rxrKEuZZQZe" style="text-decoration-line:underline" target="_blank">ZOOM</a> for the event
at the <b>24th of November at 14h</b> for a 1 hour learning
session on health inequalities and food insecurity in relation to
the Covid-19 syndemic in the global South and the global North.</p>
