Women’s health is often oversimplified to comprise only reproductive and sexual health issues. However, women’s health encompasses more than just women-specific conditions. It also includes more general health conditions that may affect women differently or disproportionately. That's why we have created the 'Kerry World of Women's Health', an impactful online resource for women and those who care for them. It houses helpful information and science-backed research on health issues unique to the female body. Because driving progress in women’s health is an imperative for improving the quality of life for women around the world.

Today we reported our financial results for Q3, which show continued volume growth for the period, with Group volumes increasing by 3.2% in the quarter. Strong volume growth in the Americas, a good performance in Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa markets, and a return to volume growth in Europe all contributed to the performance. Volumes in the retail channel steadily improved through the period, while foodservice continued to deliver strong growth. From a technology perspective, growth in our Taste portfolio was led by innovations incorporating our savoury taste, botanicals, natural extracts, and Tastesense® salt and sugar reduction technologies. Biotechnology solutions’ growth was driven by good performances across proactive health technologies and through clean label food protection and preservation launches within food applications. We remain on track to deliver our full year guidance and remain well positioned with a good innovation pipeline.

More than 60% of the population of Tana River County in Kenya live below the poverty line. Income and food security of the region's farmers and their families are threatened by water insecurity and climate change. The Agricultural Livelihoods Improving Value Chains and the Environment (ALIVE) programme is a four-year partnership between Kerry and Concern Worldwide. It aims to improve the livelihoods, food and nutritional security of vulnerable communities in the Tana River region. Now in its second year, the programme has made significant progress. ➡ 4,400+ farmers have been trained in climate resilience, agronomics and pest management ➡ 150+ acres of land have been opened up for agricultural production ➡ 46 new jobs have been created for local community members ➡ 1000+ children have been screened for malnutrition ➡ Post-harvest losses of mangoes have reduced by almost 20% To learn more the impact of the ALIVE programme, visit: https://lnkd.in/ecz4Xw2z Photo credit: Lisa Murray/Eugene Ikua/Concern Worldwide #WorldFoodDay #SocialImpact #SustainableNutrition

Consumers don’t always know if meat is safe to consume, which can create unnecessary waste. According to our new research, 42% of people regularly throw away meat. Top reasons for this include spoilage, expiration dates and food safety concerns – all of which can be solved for through preservation. To learn more about how our food scientists extend the shelf-life of meat products, read here: https://lnkd.in/eEX3_3jr #Meat #FoodSafety #FoodPreservation

When we shop, we look for the freshest products so we can enjoy them for longer. But what goes into making sure that meat stays fresh and bread doesn't grow mould too quickly? Predictive modelling. It takes everything science knows about how meat and bread spoil and uses it to predict what could happen under different conditions. For example, if a loaf of bread develops mould, a predictive model can foresee this and suggest mould control changes to keep the bread fresh for longer. This means fewer experimental batches, less waiting time for results, and more rapid introduction of reliable products to market.

Overconsumption of the sweet, salty, and fried foods we love can often lead to serious health issues. That's why today's consumers are more health-conscious than ever, paying attention to labels and actively seeking healthier alternatives. Listen below to Khaled Zitoun, Chief Technology Officer at Kerry APMEA as he explains how we meet this consumer need for healthier options by transforming foods and beverages for the better. Not just by taking out the bad; but by adding the good. To make food healthier, tastier and more accessible for everyone. #SustainableNutrition #FoodandBeverage #FoodIndustry
