Being a Lion is about more than volunteering. It’s about serving your community while having fun. It’s about connecting with old friends and making new ones. And it becomes a part of who you are. 💙 #WeServe

Why is food safety important? Because unsafe food undermines our ability to nourish the world. Ensuring food safety is critical to reducing malnutrition. We cannot achieve zero hunger without it. Here is why👇 #HealthierDiets4All #FoodSafety #SDGs

🎯 If it isn’t safe, it isn’t food. Food security isn't just about quantity; it's about quality. Unsafe food directly harms public health and wastes the water, energy, and land used to produce it. At GAIN, food safety is foundational to every programme we design.

The workplace is a highly strategic, yet underappreciated, environment for improving global nutrition. How do we actually get employers to lead the charge?

Meet @OnigbanjoToyin Her son refused store cereal, so she made her own. That started @august_secrets. With mentorship & a grant from @SUNBizNetNG, she grew it into a nutrition brand now in 400+ stores. Her mission? Raise healthier children & families. 🔗youtube.com/watch?v=0n6oDj1-…
