• Non-profit that calls itself ‘The Think Tank for Food’, founded in 2013 by Danielle Nierenberg.
• Publishes news, opinion pieces and interviews on farming, food policy, sustainability, food waste and access to healthy food.
• Also runs events and conversations with farmers, researchers, chefs and policymakers around the world.
• Our scan included a tribute to nutrition scholar Marion Nestle on her 90th birthday, one of the best-known critics of the food industry’s influence.
• Useful for following the wider context of food: not just what is on your plate, but how it got there and what that means for health and the planet.
• We include it as a source for debate and trends, not as a scientific reference.
