At COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, GAIN will highlight the role of food systems in addressing climate change, strengthening resilience and improving food security and nutrition. Working with partners, GAIN will support the COP31 Presidency in showcasing proven solutions for agriculture and food systems, with a focus on implementing existing commitments. Our aim is to encourage countries to replicate successful approaches and mobilise greater investment to take these solutions to scale.
What does it take to create workplaces where women can truly thrive?

The Wheat Flour Fortification (WFF) programme in Himachal Pradesh is a mature example of a state-wide food fortification initiative implemented through the Public Distribution System (PDS), a key food-based social safety net programme in India. The programme demonstrates strong political commitment, effective operational implementation, and high consumer acceptance, while also highlighting systemic challenges related to quality assurance, monitoring, and interdepartmental coordination.
GAIN undertook a process documentation exercise in Himachal Pradesh and the Union Territory of Ladakh to capture implementation experiences, key learnings, and good practices. Based on this exercise, two policy briefs have been developed, one for each location.
On World Food Day 2026, GAIN is exploring how innovation can help turn food systems ambition into better nutrition from stronger evidence and smarter data to new technologies, partnerships and businesses that help nutritious, safe food reach more people.
