Last update: 6 hours agoFinnish diet check: A new study using FinDiet 2017 data finds Finnish adults don’t match the latest Nordic targets—eating too little of some plant foods and too much of others, adding fresh fuel to the push for healthier, more balanced eating. Plant-based ingredient push: VTT and seven Finnish food companies have wrapped up the €3m RETHINK programme, aiming to make plant-based ingredient processing more commercially viable by better using oats, legumes and fraction “side streams.” Gender parity warning: The World Economic Forum reports the global gender gap is 69.2% closed, but full parity is still estimated 120 years away—highlighting fragile progress and big gaps in economic participation and political power.
