We need more red lines for corporate involvement in multilateral spaces such as a United Nations food summit. #UNFSS

Read the analysis from @justjody23.bsky.social, IDS Honorary Associate and co-Director of the @foodequitycentre.bsky.social 👇

People working in food systems - those in fields, in factories and in hospitality need to have their labour fairly compensated.
