This slide deck offers recommendations on the provisions of nutritious foods during the global COVID-19 pandemic and is part of a broader effort to develop an implementation support programme, supporting employers to implement Workforce Nutrition programmes.
With the Nutrition for Growth and United Nations Food Systems Summits scheduled in 2021, ambitious new multi-stakeholder commitments and actions are expected for better access to safe nutritious food. In 2019 the world was already off-track to achieve SDG2 - Zero Hunger - and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to exacerbate this gap requiring stronger financing and actions for nutrition.
This paper summarises research conducted on the impacts of COVID-19 on LMICs’ food systems. It
reviews interventions implemented to support agri-food SMEs, including rapid responses to keep markets working, strategic recovery interventions to build back better, and systemic shifts to facilitate continuous learning and adaptation.
This 4th MUFPP regional forum will focus on exchanges between cities and sharing good city practices. There will be reflected upon city progress of commitments made in past Forums and on how cities move to provide food to populations during emergencies.
I love academic papers that use evidence to try and shift stubborn policy perspectives, especially when those policy perspectives seem to be holding back development and hunger reduction. So, it is no surprise that I like the recent paper by Liverpool-Tasie et al. (2020) on persistent myths that are held about African food supply chains.

Our current food system is in dire need of change. To enable resilient, affordable, safe, and nutritious diets for the current and growing global population while restoring and safeguarding our environment, we need to think and act out of the box. GAIN, the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT, and EAT joined forces to conduct a three-stage Delphi study, to identify and investigate game-changing innovations for improving diets and restoring environments by 2030.
Food systems offer ample opportunities to help make healthy diets available, affordable and appealing. Policymakers need an answer to the question: What do I need to change about our food system to improve diets and nutrition?
