Improving affordability of nutritious foods through packaging innovations

Improving affordability of nutritious foods through packaging innovations

Food packaging is ubiquitous in the modern world but also easily forgettable: once we’ve dumped the crackers out of their bag and into our hand, or scraped the last of the yoghurt out of the bottom of its plastic pot, we usually toss the packaging into the bin without a second thought.
From Trash to Table? Opportunities for Repurposing Waste Products into Nutritious Foods

From Trash to Table? Opportunities for Repurposing Waste Products into Nutritious Foods

If food waste were a country, it would be the world’s third-largest greenhouse gas emitter, after the U.S. and China: not only does it represent the use of resources and environmental impact without a clear benefit, but as it decomposes in landfills, it releases methane and carbon dioxide. What if some of this could be avoided, and in a way that improved access to safe, nutritious foods for those who need them?
GAIN in Action for Youth: Building Tanzania’s Food Systems and Futures through Entrepreneurship

GAIN in Action for Youth: Building Tanzania’s Food Systems and Futures through Entrepreneurship

In Tanzania, nearly 70% of the population is under 30 - a generation full of energy and potential. Yet, for many young people, finding meaningful work isn’t easy. Agri-food jobs could offer huge opportunities, but the section is often seen as outdated and unappealing to youth. The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) funded by the Master Card Foundation through AGRA is working to shift this narrative through the Youth Entrepreneurship for the Future of Food and Agriculture (YEFFA) initiative, supporting young Tanzanians to find jobs and turn the sector into a vibrant space for innovation.

Food Systems Countdown Initiative Country-Level Monitoring

The Countdown then undertook a consultative process to select a set of 50 indicators across these themes, which constitutes the global indicator framework. The Countdown publishes annual monitoring updates and additional analysis to support the transformation of food systems so they become equitable, sustainable, and resilient and positively contribute to achieving the 2030 SDGs and other global goals.
Opinion Brief: Never too young for leadership in food system transformation Never too old to learn how to support it

Never too young for leadership in food system transformation Never too old to learn how to support it

- 26/08/2025

We know in our bones that youth must be part of the solution to the key crises facing our planet – but why and how exactly? Here we provide government policymakers, business people, civil society members and development partners in the food systems space with some ways to advance meaningful youth engagement.
Rethinking Workforce Nutrition in Pakistan’s Industrial Heartland

Rethinking Workforce Nutrition in Pakistan’s Industrial Heartland

Every day, thousands of workers across Pakistan’s Hattar Industrial Estate (HIE) clock into jobs that power the country’s manufacturing sector. From ceramics and textiles to printing, chemicals, and food production, these industries depend on a steady, skilled workforce. Yet, behind the manufacturing lines are workers whose nutritional needs are often overlooked. Improving workforce health and productivity can yield broader economic dividends by reducing absenteeism, improving industrial output, and lowering healthcare costs associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Building Bridges for Food Systems Transformation: Why Policy Coherence Matters

Building Bridges for Food Systems Transformation: Why Policy Coherence Matters

Four years after the landmark 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), the urgency of transforming food systems is growing. With just five years left until the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deadline, momentum is growing, but so are the challenges. The UNFSS+4 Stocktake, held in July 2025, reflects a remarkable evolution in how countries and partners are reimagining food systems to be more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient. Since the first Stocktake (UNFSS+2), countries have moved from vision to action: 128 nations now have national food systems pathways, 155 have appointed National Convenors, and 39 have revised their pathways into detailed action plans. Voluntary reporting has increased, signalling strong political commitment.
GAIN Briefing Paper n°15: Is Nutrition a missing piece of employee wellbeing frameworks?

Is Nutrition a missing piece of employee wellbeing frameworks?

- 20/08/2025

The global burden of malnutrition, poor mental health, depression, and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) continues to grow, contributing significantly to mortality and poor health, reduced productivity, and economic stagnation. With over 60% of the population engaged in the workforce and spending more than half of their adult lives at work, the workplace offers a strategic platform to address these challenges. One important aspect of worker wellbeing is nutrition, which fuels the body, improves cognitive and immune function, and reduces sick days and NCD risk.
