The roundtable will draw on the latest evidence and experience from current nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific programs, which will explore the implications for promoting high impact and underrepresented nutrition sensitive food systems including fish agri-food systems and solutions, other animal sourced foods, and new and old heritage crops.

The event will also explore the advantages of leveraging public-private partnerships and technologies to encourage high impact nutrition sensitive food systems.
