Nexus between Health, Food and Environment

Collaboration and collective action are crucial when addressing the nexus between health, food and the environment. SID actively engages with diverse stakeholders, including governments, civil society organizations, and communities, to advocate for policies and initiatives that prioritize the health of individuals, animals, and the environment. Such was the case of SID's engagement with the Diverse Women for Diversity. We stand for self-sufficiency, self-reliance and solidarity, locally and globally.
