Over the course of the past two years, and in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, the UN Secretary-General’s Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) has engaged world leaders and thousands of people from around the world in an ambitious effort to accelerate actions towards more sustainable, equitable, and healthier food systems and realising the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Join us in discussing how decent work opportunities, social protection mechanisms and workforce nutrition programmes can help achieve global nutrition security.
In order to realize lifelong health and wellbeing, nutrition services must be promoted in an integrated way with maternal and child health services in the first 1,000 days. With the growth of children, it is important to create an environment that overcomes malnutrition by providing cross-sectoral nutritional interventions not only at home but also in communities, schools
Vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) have the power to unlock human potential around the world. But a staggering 3 billion people globally, perhaps more, cannot afford a healthy diet that delivers the micronutrients people need to survive and live healthy and productive lives.
This Nutrition for Growth (N4G) side-event explores a new initiative, with a blended finance approach, backed by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), Eleanor Crook Foundation, Incofin Investment Management and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN).
Hosted by the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU), Food System Economics Commission (FSEC) and EAT this event will bring together different stakeholders involved in shaping food systems - producers, civil society, research organizations, private sector, and governments – for an open conversation that mobilizes action on nutrition and identifies solutions to today’s nutrition crisis.
The Tokyo Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit 2021 provides a historic opportunity to transform the way the world tackles the global challenge of malnutrition. The Summit comes at a critical time, midway through the United Nations (UN) Decade of Action on Nutrition, with only five years left to achieve the World Health Assembly (WHA) targets on maternal, infant and young child nutrition, and 10 years to reach the SDGs.
This event will focus on raising awareness of value and role of urban, local and regional governments in making food systems more inclusive, equitable, sustainable and resilient to advance healthy diets for all. Such awareness is most critical and relevant where commitments and actions that underline the transformation of urban food systems also robustly connect with the food systems at "higher levels" (regional, territorial, national and global).
