The current rate of food production means that even if everyone were to try to access a healthy, nutritious diet, they just couldn't because there isn't enough high-quality products being produced! 🤯 Time for a food systems transformation 🌿🌍🍎

[Global Panel @Glo_PAN]

@FAOAfrica @TomArnoldCEO @timgbenton There is a fundamental mismatch between what we grow and what we need to grow to underpin global healthy diet - with current production rates being high for sugars and grains, and not enough for fruits and vegetables

Powerful presentation on the inadequacy of the EU pledge in addressing the harmful impact of food marketing on children. With too much reliance on voluntary and self-regulatory rules, why is industry with its #unhealthyfoodmarketing still in charge? #Stopmarketingtokids

This will have more impact on the kids that see it than multi-million pound public health campaigns. I’d love to see makers of ultra processed food banned from sponsoring sport.
