Food is the foundation of life. It nourishes our bodies, connects communities, and reflects culture and tradition. Yet what we eat must be safe to fulfil its purpose of sustaining health and well-being. Food safety is the set of practices and conditions used to handle, prepare, store, and distribute food in a way that prevents contamination and reduces the risk of foodborne illness. In simple terms, it means making sure food is safe to eat at every stage from production to consumption.
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises are essential to the food systems people rely on every day. They grow, process, transport, market, and sell nutritious foods helping make healthier diets more available, affordable, and accessible. This World MSME Day, GAIN is spotlighting the MSMEs, entrepreneurs, partners, and employers shaping stronger food systems and healthier communities.

Billions of people worldwide are malnourished. Despite our best efforts, the cost of a healthy diet and food insecurity continue heading in the wrong direction.
