Hand in Hand, Data in Sight: How GAIN’s Digital Platform is Unlocking a New Era for Food Fortification in Nigeria

Hand in Hand, Data in Sight: How GAIN’s Digital Platform is Unlocking a New Era for Food Fortification in Nigeria

Every October, the world comes together to mark World Food Day, a moment to reflect on progress and renew our commitment to building food systems that nourish everyone. The 2025 theme, “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future,” speaks to the power of collaboration. At GAIN Nigeria, we see this play out every day in our partnerships across governments, industry, and civil society. It is not just about what we do as an organization it is about what we achieve together. One powerful example of this is the Digital Fortification Quality Traceability Plus platform (DFQT+) platform, now transforming how fortified foods are monitored in Nigeria.
Ultra-Processed Foods: Time for a More Nuanced Conversation

Ultra-Processed Foods: Time for a More Nuanced Conversation

‘Ultra-processed food’ (UPF) has been the nutrition buzzword of the past few years, making its way from scientific research into headlines and policy debates. These foods, commonly defined as industrial food formulations made with ingredients rarely used in home cooking, make up a shockingly large share of diets and have been associated with various negative health effects – but their role remains complicated and contested. At the recent Stockholm Food Forum, I joined this debate, participating on a panel discussion on the topic.

Transforming Kenya’s Food Future: Insights from the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy Review

In mid-September, 2025, stakeholders from across Kenya’s food, health, trade, and development sectors gathered at Sawela Lodges in Naivasha to review and revise the Draft National Food and Nutrition Security Policy (NFNSP). The meeting, convened by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development with the support of the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the World Resources Institute (WRI), saw participation from experts in agriculture, livestock, health, education, trade, arid and semi-arid lands, fisheries, and gender. This multi-sectoral gathering contributed to the ongoing comprehensive review of Kenya’s food and nutrition security policy.
Where Global Change Begins: Inside food markets and the important role city governments play

Where Global Change Begins: Inside food markets and the important role city governments play

As we prepare for the 2025 Global Forum (13 – 17 October) marking ten years of the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, we're bringing insights from our work across Africa and Asia on how city governments and local food markets can transform urban food environments and wider food systems. Walking through any bustling urban food market, from Pemba (Mozambique) to Arusha (Tanzania) and Bogor (Indonesia), is a remarkable experience. Beyond the offerings of fresh, dried, iced and frozen produce, spices, cooked traditional meals, and animated negotiations between vendors and customers, the experience of the market is at the nexus of food systems and nutrition policies and daily realities. These markets are about more than selling and buying food; they are where the future of food systems, within cities and across urban–rural landscapes, borders, and territories, is being lived, innovated, and imagined.
Reconciling Nutrition and Sustainability: A New Tool for Nourishing People and Planet

Reconciling Nutrition and Sustainability: A New Tool for Nourishing People and Planet

When we tell people we analyze the environmental and nutritional impacts of food, we're almost always met with the same question: “So, what should I eat?” It's a deceptively complex question that highlights one of the greatest challenges facing our food systems today—how do we nourish a growing global population while protecting the planet we all share? This challenge has driven us at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) to develop a new approach that we're excited to share in our latest briefing paper, "Nourishing People and Planet: Enviro-Nutritional Insights into Local Foods for Policy, Programmes, and Industry."
The Food Systems Dashboard: Then and Now

The Food Systems Dashboard: Then and Now

Five years ago, fragmented food systems data made it challenging for stakeholders to take away meaningful insights for evidence-based decision-making. Today, the Food Systems Dashboard has transformed the data landscape and become an indispensable resource for food systems stakeholders worldwide, providing nearly 200,000 users with comprehensive, visual data and expert analysis that can help turn data into action and insights into impact.
