Alison Linnecar ONLINE

Alison Linnecar holds a Master’s degree from Cambridge University in the UK where she continued with postgraduate studies in social anthropology.After working in environmental protection in France, in 1987 she joined GIFA, the Geneva Infant Feeding Association, IBFAN’s Geneva Office. As GIFA’s International Coordinator she had dual responsibilities for liaison with WHO and UN organisations in Geneva, and for expanding and supporting IBFAN’s regional coordinating offices, especially the very first, IBFAN Africa. After Co-founding the IBFAN Afrique regional office in 1989, she co-founded IBFAN Southeast Asia as well as IBFAN Arab World in 2002, always working with national NGOs to create independent regional coordination. Key to this process was securing funding from donors for the regional offices, and in 2006 she became the technical coordinator of the Global Breastfeeding Initiative for Child Survival that included the ten IBFAN regional and technical offices as well as WABA. This programme was coordinated by GIFA which co-organised regional meetings with IBFAN Arab World in Cairo and Ismailia as well as in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. At the same time, her interest in the environment led to the creation of IBFAN’s global working group on Environment, Climate and Health of which she is the Convenor. After she retired from GIFA in 2010 she has continued to work with IBFAN and publish on the negative environmental impact of formula feeding compared to the beneficial impact of breastfeeding. Her work with UN organisations on every child’s right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment led to campaigns to expose chemical pollutants in our environment, in water and in our children’s foods, as well as contamination of powdered milk formulas with harmful bacteria

Dr Chris van Tulleken Video

Chris van Tulleken--father, scientist, doctor, and award-winning BBC broadcaster--made headlines with a dietary experiment that he conducted at University College London. For a month, he ate almost nothing but ultra-processed food, a typical diet for children and adults in the United States. As Chris ate, he spoke to the world's leading experts on food and processing from academia, agriculture and, most importantly, the food industry itself. Now, in a fast-paced and eye-opening narrative, van Tulleken reveals his findings. These products are ubiquitous, are the primary driver of the obesity pandemic, and are the number-one cause of environmental destruction. Yet these products are ruthlessly marketed, often as health food. By tracing the science and economics of UPF, van Tulleken reframes it as an addictive substance and obesity as a "commerciogenic disease," driven by a largely unregulated industry. Marshaling the latest evidence, Ultra-Processed People proposes real solutions to the current pandemic of diet-related disease--for businesses, for policymakers, and for us all.

Patti Rundall

Patti was trained as an artist and teacher but after changing course in 1980 has campaigned to protect child health from predatory marketing. By building collaborative networks she has helps countries bring in legally binding controls on the marketing activities of transnational corporations, - based on the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and its 19 subsequent WHA Resolutions. These laws, when properly implement protect breastfeeding and the rights of ALL parents to sound, independent information and support for optimal infant and young child feeding. Conflicts of interest (COI) and its impact on policy-making, research, education, and health systems is a cross cutting theme of her work and was central to the adoption and and later strengthening of EU baby food legislation, the transparency and COI rules of the EU’s scientific advisory bodies and the improvement of Codex global trading standards. With IBFAN she helped prompt the adoption of the first WHA Resolution on COI in 1996 and helped found and launch the Conflicts of Interest Coalition at the UN General Assembly in 2011. Patti has been a long time Trustee of the 100-member Sustain (the alliance for better food and farming), a founder and Secretariat of the Baby Feeding Law Group (the alliance of 20+ UK health professional and mother support organisations), a member of the Infant Feeding in Emergencies core group and a leader in company campaigns such the Nestle Boycott. She represented IBFAN on the European Commission's Platform for Action on Diet and Physical Activity from 2007 until 2019.
