Remarkable graphic from the @nytimes showing how water from the Colorado River - a major water, irrigation and energy source for seven states - is used.

Spoiler: Lots of disagreement (especially on fortification!). But almost all agreed on the importance of school food programmes and there is a notable recognition of the importance of (1) health-oriented agricultural policies and (2) social protection policies.
@CorinnaHawkes, Jess Fanzo and I (with the help of @l_haddad) spoke with practitioners to see if there is any common ground on which actions are essential for re-orienting food systems to healthy diets.

(3) So it's not just about financing/sponsoring/advocating for female-led businesses. It's about *listening to* and *incorporating* the values and priorities women bring with them into leadership - including in business success metrics.
