Aflatoxins: The Climate, Gender and Nutritional Linkages (under the GCAN Initiative)
Aflatoxin levels and impacts are expected to increase with higher temperatures and increased water stress, particularly in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Two key avenues to address this challenge include minimizing contamination in the growing cycle through the use of good agricultural practices and by mitigating toxin development in the postharvest supply chain; and reducing the […]

Loss of pollinators causing more than 400,000 early deaths a year: study (CTV News)
Pollination loss may be leading to hundreds of thousands of excess deaths worldwide as supplies of healthy food become less plentiful writes CTV News in an article on the recent study by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the International Food Policy Research Institute, and partners. This loss and the resulting health complications that […]
The link between bees and human mortality has been established, and it can be called an apocalypse (Wolnemedia)
Wolnemedia (Poland) published an article on the new Harvard University School of Health and partners’ new study on pollinators. Reducing the number of pollinators actually removes healthy food from the global diet and thus increases the number of chronic diseases that cause increased mortality. The analysis also showed that low-income countries lost significant amounts from […]
Loss of bees could harm health of millions of people (U.S. News & World Report)
U.S. News & World Report features the new study analyzing consequences on pollination loss on human health by Harvard University, IFPRI, and other institutions. Bees, in their role as master pollinators, increase crop yields, leading to more production of healthy fruits, vegetables, and nuts. But new research claims that the challenges these important insects face from […]
