Happy to participate at Mental Health Summit. In mental health, as in health in general, prevention is better than cure. Investement in mental health services can yield greater economic growth and national well-being than investment in new road infrastructure!

Questions for @EP_Environment meeting with @JessikaRoswall : Will there be stronger action on antimicrobial resistance and one health approach? Also, we're very far from reaching the goals of reducing food waste - how can we do better?
