Aramark and American Heart Association Engaging Consumers to Feed Their Potential During National Nutrition Month

Just two years into their breakthrough initiative, Healthy for Life 20 By 20, Aramark and the American Heart Association have made great strides to improve the health of all Americans 20 percent by the year 2020. As part of this alliance, Aramark launched Feed Your Potential 365, a health and wellness campaign dedicated to inspiring consumers to make healthy food choices a part of their everyday life.

Improving Food Security in West and East Africa

20,000 farmers in Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and Uganda have improved the security and quality of their food supply thanks to the FoodAfrica Programme.

Helping Kids Thrive in the Classroom

Can you imagine paying attention to an algebra lesson first thing in the morning with a growling, churning stomach?

Sadly, millions of children in the U.S. don’t eat breakfast because there simply isn’t enough food at home.

As part of the General Mills Foundation’s effort to end hunger by increasing food security, General Mills has partnered with No Kid Hungry and Food Research & Action Center.

How One Farm is Harnessing Waste to Improve Soil Health and Put the Best Mushrooms on Your Pizza

When you take a bite of a hot slice of California Pizza Kitchen’s Mushroom and Green Onion pizza, you’re surely not thinking of mushroom farms, organic soil and sustainability.

Next time, perhaps you will.

What you might not know is that those mushrooms, and the farmers who grow them at the Pennsylvania-based Mother Earth Organic Mushrooms, are part of an awesome cycle of care that supports organic farms throughout the East Coast. Nestlé values the farm’s high-quality mushrooms, their rich flavor and the nutritional boost they provide — but we also seek out partners like Mother Earth to create shared value that goes beyond the products we create.

Healthy Kids Make Healthy Adults

A ground-breaking study called EarlyBird was set up to explore the biology of growing children, how metabolic disorders develop in childhood and their consequences in adulthood. I lead the Nestlé team that is involved in this research.

Our research shows that by monitoring children during crucial stages of their development, we can accurately identify those at risk of developing metabolic disorders, better understand how these diseases develop and hopefully, eventually intervene nutritionally to prevent the onset of these conditions.

Plant Based Proteins: The Meat Alternative That Is Good For Your Health And The Planet

It's rare that an idea or solution comes along that solves a variety of problems facing the world. Plant-based proteins is one of those. Whether it is human health, animal welfare, deforestation or climate change (or all of those) that concerns you, consuming more plant-based proteins can offer a simple (and tasty) way to make a positive contribution to solving them.

The food system is changing. It always has, but now it needs to change to reduce waste and optimise the use of plant proteins. Challenges like these have led the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, of which Nestlé is a member, to work on a new programme called FReSH - Food Reform for Sustainability and Health. FReSH will focus on the solutions that businesses can bring, and proteins will be at the centre.
