The status quo is not delivering the future we want. How can we, as researchers [& advocates], contribute to reimagining food governance? – Anne-Marie Throw @mchpe_sydney @Sydney-Uni #FoodGovernance2024

Bruce on indigenous rights & alcohol policies in NZ, and how Māori experience a disproportionate amount of alcohol-related harm & how alcohol helped to facilitate land alienation… – at Cape Town, South Africa

Loved working on this survey with @katherineshats and @KBackholer for UNICEF. Great access to policymakers on the ground struggling to get marketing controls in place to restrict children's exposure to unhealthy food marketing + robust response rate = interesting insights

I really needed this today. Read this thread to see a UK Court upholding the Govts right to introduce public health nutrition measures and tell Kelloggs where to go. Kelloggs claims about nutrient profile model 'drop-kicked into the stands by Justice Linden' @JimBethell
The @KelloggsUKI junk food court victory is a *stonker*. Industry efforts to overturn the whole basis of nutrition measurement drop-kicked into the stands by Mr Justice Linden. I've never read a judgement like it. Junk food industry shd be ashamed. Here's a few highlights. 1/🧵

The role of the private sector in the #UNFSS2021 isn’t settled. But it’s really at the country level that we’ll need to deal with the practical implications of commercial involvement in food system governance - @NamukoloC #FoodGovernance2021
