Valuable lesson that comes out of this election for me as a scholar activist is that we have failed in communicating our messages beyond our circle. We thought we spoke the language of the people, only to realize that the circle we oppose speaks their language better Ahmad Arif

I mean food system wise, message abt food estate, large scale production, regionalization of food system, diverse local diets are not at all understood. And Milk!? Nutritionist took milk out of the dietary guideline, yet they promised to distribute milk for children nationally?

If you are running a household food processing project, try to create a minimum quota on the number of men to be involved in the cooking and home gardening activities. The more men who understand and willing to prepare healthy meals for family, the better for gender equality.

Pandemic has really accelerated the internet. This week, Musrembang (participatory developmnt forum) in one of d most impoverished regencies in Indonesia was being organized online. Heads of villages came to subdistrict offices and Zoom there with Regency office. I was wowed!

Shoutout to my colleagues and friends who wrote this very useful paper Bronwen Powell (she/her) Settler 🇨🇦 Lukas Pawera This figure is not discussed enough! mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/10…

Very interesting application of biodiversity survey method combined with dietary survey tools feat nutrition analysis. There should be more research like this in Indonesia! Doi: 10.1186/s13002-024-00710-y Exploring unconventional food plants used by local communities...

People asked if I am coming to this n that FISH Conferences, and I am not!! Not in the loop 😑 But maybe I will if u let me know few months or weeks before deadline of the abstract call.. please 😉 I have 2 draft papers on fish-food systems! Which conferences to submit them to?

"Demon" manuscript got accepted! All hail to Allah!! ...and my coauthors, reviewers and editor too!

The older I get, the more I appreciate meticulous (but kind) reviewers. Journals that pass draft papers so easily give red flag🚩. I now see my published papers with much thanks to the reviewers I used to loathe for their harsh critics 😅
