The @novonordiskfond - which makes money from obesity drugs - is holding a meeting with food industry funded scientists to 'redefine' an unhealthy diet. This is bad for public health and more than 80 of the world's leading independent food scientists are calling for a boycott. 🧵

Maternity protection entitlements, lactation rooms, and paid breaks for #breastfeeding are essential supports governments and workplaces can provide to help mothers breastfeed their babies. This #WBW2024, let’s hope for more inclusive policies for all moms and babies.

Now learning about the "edible #microbiome" from @FAO scientist, Fanette Fontaine. DYK you are consuming 100,000,000 microbes with each apple! (And the apple microbiome is more diverse on organic varieties) 🤓🍎🦠 #IHMC2024 frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

Three days left until the deadline! The transformation of #foodsystems in Africa is impossible without the participation and contribution of women. Are you a woman working in food systems in Rwanda or Kenya? We’d love to receive your application.
