It was a pleasure to work with Simone Gie, Gilles Bergeron and IFPRI's Phuong Huong Nguyen, Lan Mai Tran and Nga Thu Hoang on this study to explore food-based options for increasing nutrient intake for girls in urban Vietnam!

Without a doubt. While I am glad to be able to attend Micronutrient Forum in a couple of weeks, very conscious that attendance at a global nutrition conference at The Hague will be for the privileged among us. I will speak about decolonisation of nutrition research in my remarks there.

A great panel and a fantastic example of government commitment to reducing undernutrition by Vice Minister Pozo Zarate, who spoke about Nutrition Sensitive Social Protection initiatives MIDIS is implementing with WFP Perú (Programa Mundial de Alimentos)

Abigail Perry, Director of Nutrition World Food Programme stresses that commitments to scale up fortification that don’t result in tangible actions do nothing to improve the lives of the worlds most vulnerable. We now need to turn talk into action. #MNF2023.

I'm so thrilled to read this Yashodhara Rana! It's so important to document the application of evidence-generating nutrition modelling tools and understand factors that can enhance their uptake and use for advocacy and decision-making! Congratulations on a great paper!
