Now that I caught your attention with a cute highland cow... are you working on #foodsystems , #climatechange , and planning to attend #ISA2025 in Chicago? Anja Bless and I are looking for papers to submit a panel proposal. If interested, please write to us before May 17th!

I’m thrilled and so grateful for the incredible support and encouragement I received along the way! It’s also exciting to see the recognition of the importance of UPF research in Australia. Looking forward to what the next 5y will bring! 🥳🎉

During my trip to Cambridge University, I had the chance to meet with amazing people 🤩: Patti Rundall Angela Carriedo y Maggie Wetzel 💚, and exchange ideas to advance in protection of #breastfeeding , #CDoH , #ConflictsOfInterest & #Obesityprevention

Did you know? Breastfeeding supports child health, women's rights, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It's time we prioritize it in our policies and investments. bit.ly/Breastfeedinga… #BreastfeedingasCarbonOffset

HFSA published a paper! We looked at coverage of UPFs in Australian news media. The good news? UPFs are receiving more and more attention! But there's a need for more accuracy in discussing UPFs (esp. not conflating them with 'processed' foods or HFSS foods)

Breastfeeding supports child health and women's rights and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It's time we recognise its value in economic & environmental metrics, prioritizing it in policies and investments. #BreastfeedingasCarbonOffset for #HealthforAll : bit.ly/ibfaco

'Country investments in #breastfeeding should be considered a carbon offset in global plans for sustainable food, health & economic systems... 21.7 billion litres of human milk are lost p.a. because governments fail to invest in supporting breastfeeding. ibit.ly/sIjmL

‘A proposal to recognise breastfeeding as a carbon offset is a timely one & calls for investment in #breastfeeding policy& programmes as a carbon offset. It is truly an extraordinary work of the health economists and researchers”, says Dr Gupta BPNI ANUPopulationHealth WBTiAUS
