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

After heated negotiations, gov’t will pay $1.2 billion to users to *not* use water.

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.

Agri-environmental schemes and consumer labelling alone will not be sufficient. Responsibility must be shared by all along the value chain.

(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.

[Stephanie Walton @stephlynette]

(1) Still thinking about the #FoodThinkers talk last night with the inspiring @valuesdoc on women-led sustainable startups.

Key takeaway: women leaders prioritise social and environmental sustainability over profit more than men. @ImpactWN #sustainablebusiness @FoodPolicyCity

[Stephanie Walton @stephlynette]

(2) But the current 'success' paradigm of profit maximisation can't grapple with this. A #FemaleEntrepreneur is then judged as less successful than men who make more money while perpetuating destructive and unjust business models.
