Food systems that support healthy diets in sustainable, resilient, just, and equitable ways can engender progress in eradicating poverty and malnutrition; protecting human rights; and restoring natural resources.
Addressing hidden hunger with nutrient-dense staple crops—developed through the process of biofortification—has gained considerable traction in low- and middle-income countries since the first varieties were released to farmers 16 years ago.
Pre-pandemic, 3 billion people could not afford a healthy diet; that number could rise by 267.6 million due to the pandemic. Food system transformation must support healthy diets and tackle all forms of malnutrition.
Food systems need to be transformed if we are to meet the Sustainable Development Goals and increase resilience of these systems to shocks. The pandemic has provided useful lessons on opportunities and weaknesses that must be addressed.
Policymakers must balance critical trade-offs among policy actions and spending priorities for health, food systems, and economies. This requires a multisectoral perspective and clearly defined values.
As the world counts down to the 2025 World Health Assembly nutrition targets and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, millions of women, children, and adolescents worldwide remain undernourished (underweight, stunted, and deficient in micronutr
Ending all forms of hunger by 2030, as set forward in the UN-Sustainable Development Goal 2 (UN-SDG2), is a daunting but essential task, given the limited timeline ahead and the negative global health and socio-economic impact of hunger.
Taking a food systems approach is a promising strategy for improving diets.
Biofortification is an effective method to improve the nutritional content of crops and nutritional intake.
Good nutrition is integral to human well-being and to humanity’s ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Women’s empowerment is a process that includes increases in intrinsic agency (power within); instrumental agency (power to); and collective agency (power with).
Taking a food systems approach is a promising strategy for improving diets.
Given the need for valid measures of women’s empowerment to monitor SDG5 and design advantages of pro-WEAI, an assessment of its measurement properties is warranted.
Poucos desafios enfrentados hoje pela comunidade global se comparam, em escala, à má nutrição, distúrbio que afeta diretamente uma em cada três pessoas.
En la actualidad, pocos son los obstáculos a los que se enfrenta la comunidad mundial que puedan compararse en magnitud con el de la malnutrición, una condición que afecta directamente a una de cada tres personas.
