Join the Nobel Peace Prize Forum 2021 as we hear from leading experts and innovators in the fight for food security and a sustainable future. Together, we will explore why and how food plays a central role in reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals and how every person can join the effort to eradicate hunger and malnutrition.
GAIN’s mission and strategy revolve around the core concept of "nutritious and safe foods". In addition, there is a growing consensus that foods should be produced sustainably - i.e., that one should take into account the environmental impact associated with the production of these foods.
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) commits to support these goals by improving access to nutritious and safe foods in a sustainable way. We will register two major commitments in the Nutrition Accountability Framework in relation to improving diet quality for millions of people around the world.
That goal was to identify ways that businesses large and small could support efforts to tackle all forms of malnutrition, recognizing that most of the core underlying problems of malnutrition can never be addressed without actions by those that grow, manufacture, distribute and market food to consumers.
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.
This N4G side event brings together different voices and perspective from governments, food systems experts and CSOs to discuss food systems solutions to increase food availability and affordability for rural people, identify interlinkages and connect the dots.
When we launched GAIN’s new Environment Strategy internally in March 2021, it quickly became clear that protecting the planet is a cause that carries huge significance for GAIN staff, for a whole host of different reasons. Some colleagues took inspiration from the natural beauty of the world around them, from the stunning savannahs of Tanzania and rolling highlands of Kenya through to the incredible diversity of India and the lakes and mountains of Geneva.
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.
This session co-organised by The Power of Nutrition, GAIN, Eleanor Crook Foundation, and Palladium Impact Capital, intends to share solutions and mobilize new thinking around the N4G Cross-Cutting theme of "Securing new investment and driving innovation in nutrition financing".
This event will present learning tools of organizations supporting SMEs and nutrition, and inspirational case studies by SMEs. There will be three presentations by FAO, ATNI and the IFFS portal – presenting tools that SMEs can use to improve their nutritional knowledge and understand how to take steps forward.
