🥣With little notice🇧🇷Brazil just launched arguably the most comprehensive set of anti-hunger policies ever seen. @LulaOficial's #BrasilSemFome plan opens a new front in the global war on #hunger. Just in time. New op-ed by @bettarecine in @AJEnglish aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/…

This time around Brazil can and must do the anti-hunger fight right

We only produce ≈15% of the fruit we eat in 🇬🇧 Due to retailer pressure & lack of govt interest, not only are orchards being ripped out but long-term investment is being reduced. Madness for food security, the rural economy & health 👇 @GBApples britishapplesandpears.co.uk/…
