🚨 Mindful Bites: A Shared Pathway for Inclusive Food Choices Through Behavioural Science 🚨 Decisions around food and nutrition can be complicated. Sometimes they’re driven by accurate information on sustainable and healthy agrifood choices. But what happens when evidence doesn’t shape our actions? What’s driving that disconnect? 🔍 Join us on Thursday, 17th October from 14:00 to 15:30, where we’ll explore how behavioural science can shed light on this gap. Moderated by Asa Sandberg, this session will dive deep into the cognitive biases and psychological, socio-cultural, and environmental factors that influence our food choices—and how they can limit inclusivity and diversity. We’ll also be unveiling survey results during the session to provide real insights into how biases shape decision-making in agrifood systems. This is your chance to: - Understand barriers that hinder inclusive food choices - Mitigate biases for better policies - Foster evidence-based decisions that support FAO’s Four Betters and the SDGs. 📅 Save the Date: 17th October | 14:00 - 15:30 I'll put the registration link for online participant in the comments as I've just learned that it will avoid limiting the post's reach due to algorithm preferences.

Elevated's co-founder and CEO, Steve Brazeel, recently spoke at Milken Institute Future of Health summit. Elevated believes that nutritious food is essential to preventing and managing chronic diseases as diet-related conditions drive rising healthcare costs. Elevating the food system means recognizing farms as key to producing healthy food that improves health outcomes and addresses disparities through initiatives like Food is Medicine.

2024 Year in Review: Growth, Impact, and Collaboration In a world where over three billion people cannot afford a healthy diet, our work is making a meaningful contributions in addressing food insecurity and malnutrition. We are achieving this by integrating biofortified crops into food systems. The impact is tangible: millions of people, especially women and children, have benefited from improved nutrition thanks to our biofortification efforts. We have also empowered millions of women farmers to grow biofortified crops, enhancing their livelihoods and nutrition. Our school meal programs are delivering nutritious meals to school learners in Asia and Africa while supporting smallholder farmers through market linkages. Watch our year-end video to learn more about our journey and impact! https://lnkd.in/d8KD9DSb We are looking forward to an even a bigger impact in 2025! #NutritionForAll #SustainableAgriculture #Biofortification #Year2024 International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) CGIAR HarvestPlus Solutions Arun Baral Ravinder Grover Maggie Biruri Dr. Yusuf Dollah Fou'ad Md.

Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) working together with partners #foodsystems to effectively deepen urban food systems transformation

World Health Day - time to reimagine our world and tackle the health and food challenges of today and tomorrow. The theme for World Health Day 2024 is 'My health, my right’. Food is the planet’s oldest form of medicine, yet our food systems are in crisis and unless we work together and take urgent actions, we are at risk of a continued rise in rates of hunger, obesity and diet-related chronic diseases. To fix our food systems, we need to work together to develop holistic and systemic solutions and create a world where people have control over their health and the health of our planet. Startups play a fundamental role in transforming the food system. EIT Food and EIT Food Accelerator Network celebrate, support and accelerate innovative impactful agrifood entrepreneurs and startups to build a future-fit food system that produces healthy and sustainable food for all. Be part of the food system transformation, join our EIT Food Accelerator Network community, register your interest today: andhttps://lnkd.in/ddX_3fP2

[Winners] We’re still buzzing with excitement from the Food Systems Innovation Challenge Finals two weeks ago! Fruitastic 5 from Uganda wowed everyone by winning the competition with their innovative solution to combat food waste, transforming overripe jackfruit into healthy snacks. The energy, creativity, and passion shown by all 18 teams from 9 countries left a lasting impression! With incredible ideas ranging from waste-to-feed solutions to natural pest control, the impact of this challenge is still rippling through our community. We’re inspired by Eco Grub from Nepal and AgroEssential from Brazil, who also took the stage as finalists, and the innovative Sugar Shakers from Nigeria, winners of the Audience Award.

Innovations in food systems are key to a) long run food security, b) reducing the environmental footprint of food systems, and c) improving resilience and economics at the farm level. And in case innovations are to be tested and scaled rapidly, a collaborative approach is necessary. These two reports provide a solid framework for collective action on mainstreaming food innovation. Thanks to the many partners that have contributed to this.
