🔥 New framework for understanding and addressing inequality and inequity for food security and nutrition
👉 Actions must consider #recognition #representation #redistribution
Quote Tweet
The conceptual framework describes how inequalities in FSN outcomes are best reduced by addressing inequalities in #FoodSystems and in other related systems. Sustainable change requires understanding and addressing the systemic drivers and root causes of inequity in context.

Aid organisations criticise UK funding cuts to East Africa as "insulting and shortsighted." Reducing humanitarian aid sends the wrong message with chronic drought, conflict, and rising food prices. Urgent action is needed to address this situation. Read:

EXACTLY five years to the date since I filed the case in Supreme Court, the court heard my case today finally after 14 deferrals.
As a conservationist, I prefer to be out in field rather than be in courtrooms defending wildlife, but the universe works in mysterious ways! 1/ twitter.com/kmrpaudel/stat…

It's World Biodiversity Day! Here's a reminder that 150,000 species aren't at risk of extinction because 'poor people farm bad'- it's because of predatory operations of global capital. Structural problems need structural solution, like tax & debt justice

Sometimes you only realise you had some hope once you lose it.
Actually stunned to learn the Gov response to the legal net zero challenge is to double down on… fossil fuels, the same week that the IPCC report issues final warning for drastic cuts needed to avoid catastrophe.

"The [UK] government is planning to launch its revamped net-zero strategy from the UK’s oil & gas capital, Aberdeen, in a clear signal of its intention to boost the fossil fuel industry while cutting key green measures, the Guardian has learned"
