🏅 🌍 Today the Paris Olympic Games are officially starting and will take place until 11 August.   ➡ 100 years have passed since the last time the Olympic Games were hosted in Paris, in 1924. All the athletes (14,250 for the Olympic Games and 8,000 for the Paralympic Games) will be housed in the Olympic Village, spread across the northern suburbs of Saint-Denis, Saint Ouen and L'Île-Saint-Denis.   🏃♀️ The athletes will primarily eat in the Village, where all types of cuisines are offered, to meet in this way the nutritional needs and cultural habits of all the athletes, who come from 208 different territories and nations. Meals will be made from local and seasonal products, designed by chefs using products from the French regions. As it is written on the official website of the Olympic Games, there is a common denominator for the food served in the Olympic Village: “Healthy, gourmet and creative food, with more plant-based and local options at affordable prices!” 🍏 At SNE we want to take the opportunity to highlight the importance of consuming healthy food for sports people, and to remind how sports foods and drinks especially play a crucial role in providing the nutrients and fluids athletes need during their intense muscular effort. In fact, sports and other physical activities may push the body to extreme conditions, for which athletes, whether it is an elite or amateur athlete, may require tailored nutritional support to optimise performance and recovery! 👉 Click here to know more on food intended for sports people: https://lnkd.in/dZPbSYjE Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance #Paris2024 #SportsFoods

🌍🏞💧 Protecting Water-Quality through Cross Border Collaboration 💧🏞🌍 As a cross-border co-operative, it was great to engage with DAERA Minister Andrew Muir to showcase the success of the Mountain Water catchment. Rivers do not respect borders and we believe that this joined-up approach is critical. As a founding member of ASSAP, Lakeland Dairies has long supported our farm families to improve water quality. Protecting and enhancing water quality is an absolute imperative for our co-operative and our industry. Lakeland Dairies through our participation in ASSAP and the roll out of our farm sustainability strategy ‘Farming for a Better Future’ coupled with our sustainability incentive payment shows our farmers are meeting the water quality challenge head on. #LakelandDairies #ThePeopleOfLakelandDairies #FromLocalToGlobal #WaterQuality Teagasc
