Re-reading one of our papers from 2018 - highly relevant to the current tariff wars: International food trade plays a critical role in reducing global nutrient inequities, enabling many poorer countries to meet dietary needs that domestic production alone cannot satisfy.

🌍 #Climatechange is fueling anaemia—already affecting nearly 2B people. Our Lancet Haematology piece calls for urgent cross-sector action: better data, resilient foods, early warning systems & elevating nutrition in climate talks #COP30. Link here: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The IPC data on famine in Gaza is utterly horrifying. Don't look away. www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...

Anaemia affects nearly 2B people, yet most countries are far off track to meet targets. Our new Lancet Haematology Commission calls for better data, stronger governance, and realistic goals (12–22% reduction by 2030 vs the current 50%). 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/S235...

🌍 Our new review shows how:
(1) Climate shocks hit food, water + health systems
(2) All forms of malnutrition are at risk
(3) Near-term events + long-term warming both drive risks
(4) Building resilience through food, social + nutrition systems is urgent. 🔗 shorturl.at/WmZki

It's fun to read one's older published papers. This one, written in 2011, articulated the notion that nutrition, agrobiodiversity, & environmental sustainability are interrelated, aka “econutrition.” We were not the first to write about these relationships & certainly not the last. shorturl.at/Hv5CX
