Strategies for Infant and Young Child Feeding in Climate-Related Emergencies
Sandra Zadkovic is a breastfeeding peer support volunteer and enjoys a career in the non-profit sector where she has worked with organizations addressing health, food security, and environmental issues. Her personal breastfeeding experience sparked an interest and passion for protecting breastfeeding rights. As a student in the Ecological Public Health course at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, Sandra explored the historical and ongoing intersections between breastfeeding and climate change, presenting her research in the article “Breastfeeding and Climate Change: Overlapping Vulnerabilities and Integrating Responses” published in the Journal of Human Lactation in April 2020. The goal of her research is to urge health professionals, policy makers, non-profit organizations and breastfeeding advocates everywhere to recognize the shared roots of breastfeeding subversion and work in solidarity with other anti-oppressive movements, including the climate justice movement.
