We support the Global Nutrition Report mission to #LeaveNoOneBehind. Our GDD project works to fill the gaps in nutrition survey data availability. We hope researchers can use this comprehensive resource to address inequalities in our food system. #livewithempathy

Now, more than ever, we need the creation of policies to protect the health of those underrepresented. It is imperative that strategies respond to the needs of communities, and our dietary database aims to help by assessing both maternal and child health. #InvestInNutrition
