369,000 children likely to die and 2.3 million at risk due to 44% cuts in global nutrition funding

369,000 children likely to die and 2.3 million at risk due to 44% cuts in global nutrition funding

GAIN Working Paper n°48-Improving Affordability of Nutritious Foods Through Packaging Innovations

GAIN Working Paper n°48-Improving Affordability of Nutritious Foods Through Packaging Innovations

Packaging can keep foods safe; help make them appealing, convenient, and long-lasting; and convey key information about them to consumers. At the same time, packaging is an important contributor to food system waste and a major driver of certain foods’ prices in LMICs. As such, it is a sector ripe for creative disruption as part of food system transformation – to ensure safe, nutritious foods can reach the consumers who need them, in affordable forms and with limited negative environmental impact. This paper has considered in detail three packaging innovations that could be used to make nutritious foods more accessible to lower-income consumers: single-serve packaging, reusable packaging, and selling products in bulk without individual packaging.

GAIN Working Paper n°46-Opportunities for repurposing waste products into nutritious foods

GAIN Working Paper n°46-Opportunities for repurposing waste products into nutritious foods

Reducing food waste represents an important opportunity for shrinking the environmental footprint of food systems and supporting planetary health – and if this waste can be repurposed into nutritious foods, then it could also be a benefit for nutrition and human health. To understand the opportunities for repurposing waste products or byproducts into foods, this paper presents a rapid analysis based on desk research and key informant interviews. The analysis considers byproducts across four categories: fruit and vegetable residues, seeds and seed residues, other plant byproducts, and animal byproducts. The assessment considered availability, potential uses, consumer acceptability, food safety, nutritional quality, and feasibility.
