In this side session for the Tokyo Nutrition for Growth Summit 2021, a panel of nutrition and food safety experts will explore and seek expert opinion on whether the current and evolving food system, can deliver a healthy, balanced diets that provide sufficient amounts of necessary nutrients while also preventing foodborne diseases.
Vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) have the power to unlock human potential around the world. But a staggering 3 billion people globally, perhaps more, cannot afford a healthy diet that delivers the micronutrients people need to survive and live healthy and productive lives.
Ensuring that all people can consume diets rich in vitamins and minerals is foundational to building a healthy food system and to achieving global goals. Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) is a powerful and established food systems intervention with a proven track record of virtually eliminating debilitating vitamin and mineral deficiencies as a public health concern.
