On @COP28_UAE “Food Day” it’s essential we get clarity on what we mean by “regenerative” food production and why we need it. Deep (not shallow) regen = benefits for people+planet 👩🏽🌾🌍 foodtank.com/news/2023/12/op… via @foodtank – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates
👀If we are looking for economical ways to feed kids, help farmers, and ensure food security on an overheating planet here is one #FoodSystems fix hiding in plane sight that we cannot afford to overlook:

@DanSaladinoUK on the exciting launch of #foodperiodictable to show what’s in our food: “We are leaving behind an era of reductionism for an era of complexity and #biodiversity!” @foodtank @RockefellerFdn 🥕🌿🌽
From 150 to 26,000?! That’s the jump in biomolecules in our food we can now measure because of the #foodperiodictable launching today with @foodtank @RockefellerFdn @BiovIntCIAT_eng & so many global partners! 🌿🔬🥕

It’s been incredible to be at @RockefellerFdn and support the work of @EATforum + @PIK_Climate + the Food Systems Economics Commission. Big finding: a move to sustainable food systems could bring $10tn benefits a year but the costs and wins vary by place: theguardian.com/environment/… – at Mamaroneck, NY
