With the arrival of high-speed home delivery companies, alcohol became more readily and rapidly available than ever before.

Key Points: 
  • With the arrival of high-speed home delivery companies, alcohol became more readily and rapidly available than ever before.
  • If you’ve been participating in Dry January, you may be feeling relieved, proud or anxious now that the month has come to an end.
  • Fiction offers precious – sobering – insights into the impact of alcohol in the lives of women and children.

How fiction can help

  • What exactly do these works of fiction offer that you might not find elsewhere?
  • Set against intimate domestic backdrops, they provide unflinching accounts of drinking as a woman and mother and where extreme addiction can take you.
  • One example comes from Lucia Berlin’s short story, Unmanageable, from the collection A Manual for Cleaning Women (2015).

An offer of hope

  • Stuart has acknowledged that aspects and characters in the book reflect his own childhood.
  • His ability to write Shuggie’s experiences at all – as well as his successful career working in fashion in the US – suggests there is a way through.
  • “All over the world mothers are having breakfast with their sons, seeing them off at the door,” she writes.
  • These aren’t works which point the finger, but which offer insights and understanding, tenderness and compassion.

No perfect fix

  • Shuggie’s attempts to entertain Agnes by reading to her from Roald Dahl’s Danny the Champion of the World don’t keep her sober.
  • But for the Lucia Berlin character in Unmanageable, literature literally saves her life:
    “She was shaking too hard to stand.
  • Don’t think, God don’t think about the state you’re in or you will die, of shame, a stroke.

Research on global food trade – particularly trade in cereals – has a long history.

Key Points: 
  • Research on global food trade – particularly trade in cereals – has a long history.
  • Read more:
    Five ways to reboot the global food economy to make it healthier for all

Mapping global nutrient trade

  • Working with researchers at the University of São Paulo and State University of Campinas in Brazil, we have now published a broader analysis of global nutrient trade over time and its impact on health.
  • It shows the variation in nutrient trade between countries with differing wealth, and some positive links between nutrient trade and health.
  • At the same time, nutrient trade over the 35 years we analysed has grown rapidly, as shown in the chart below for vitamin B12.

The wealth and nutrient gap

  • This is despite those countries having only around 15% of the global population.
  • In contrast, low-income countries have little involvement in global trade of any nutrients.
  • In contrast, nearly 60% of New Zealand’s protein imports comes from Australia, largely in wheat and wheat products.
  • We also analysed the socioeconomic, demographic and health outcome data potentially associated with food consumption patterns and nutrient trade.
  • The findings suggest higher involvement in nutrient trade networks was significantly associated with improvements in infant mortality rates, lower prevalence of anaemia in women of reproductive age, and greater life expectancy.

Food security and nutrition

  • This knowledge can be used to identify weaknesses in the global food system, and which shocks (climatic, political or biological) might have the greatest consequences for nutrition.
  • Food trade plays a key role in fostering food security and good nutrition.
