Better Diets and Nutrition Science Program
We will identify, co-design, and test food system solutions that tackle major constraints to delivering sustainable healthy diets and improving nutrition outcomes for people in low and middle-income countries.
Through a holistic collaboration, we will support country-led food systems transformation enabling our partners to take actions that deliver sustainable healthy diets and improved nutrition outcomes while safeguarding income, employment, social equity, and environmental sustainability.
Our work aims to help
- Making healthy foods affordable for the almost 3 billion people worldwide who currently cannot afford a healthy diet.
- Promoting diets that are diverse, nutritious and safe to reduce the number of people at risk of all forms of malnutrition and diet linked morbidity and mortality.
- Supporting actors to take actions that ensure food systems transformation benefits people and the planet.
