Federal policy shifts—tariffs, FDA staff cuts—are disrupting our food system, raising prices & risking nutrition security for vulnerable communities. As an RDN, I believe we must protect food access and public health. Smart policy matters. 🍎🤝 #NutritionEquity #RDNsLead #FoodPolicy https://www.forbes.com/sites/shaynaharris/2025/04/10/how-the-trump-administration-could-reshape-americas-food-industry/

Some Republican policymakers either don’t understand or care that SNAP benefits are so low that people can only afford unhealthy food because it’s cheap, quick, and easy to prepare. Instead of increasing benefits for healthy food, they’re making it harder for people to exist. https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2025-04-15/sanders-moves-to-ban-candy-soda-from-arkansas-snap-eligibility #uspol #foodpolicy

Good to hear #HenryDimbleby on #BBCR4 talking about #foodpolicy. No need for a new review - this one should be implemented

Independent restaurants are economic anchors—but disruptive tariffs put their survival at risk. As a leader in procurement and food systems, I know uncertainty in cost + supply isn’t just inconvenient—it’s destabilizing. Smart policy must protect local resilience. #FoodPolicy #Leadership https://civileats.com/2025/04/02/op-ed-how-trumps-tariffs-could-impact-your-local-restaurant/

654 Millionen Menschen leben in extremer #Armut. Aber wie viele weitere Menschen auf der Welt können sich keine angemessene #Ernährung leisten?

Forschende unserer Uni betonen, dass dies bei den derzeitigen Armutsmetriken übersehen wird, obwohl es langfristige gesundheitliche Folgen hat. Tatsächlich sind Milliarden von Menschen davon betroffen: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html?id=7772

654 million people live in extreme poverty. But how many more people around the world cannot afford a basic nutritious diet?

Research led by our Uni highlights that current poverty metrics overlook this, despite the long-term health consequences. In fact, billions of people are affected: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=7774

Latest episode: Food facts are not the answer to fear of foods

“What kind of food system do we want for the future? What kind of questions should we be asking? Whose questions matter? What kind of questions matter and what kind of expertise is considered relevant?”

Charlotte Biltekoff, author of Real Food, Real Facts: Processed Food and the Politics of Knowledge, on how industrial food and real food talk past one another.

As recently as half a day ago 🤓 I made my point that praising the #FoodIndustry for their #FoodWaste solutions makes little sense, because creating #ZeroWaste during their production process should be the default expectation in a #CircularEconomy.
