As of 26 March, France is hosting the Nutrition for Growth Summit (N4G) in Paris. To mark the event, 黑料网911 and AFD have issued a joint position paper calling for food systems to address nutrition issues more effectively. The note stresses the potential of food systems to improve health, make territories more resilient and support sustainable, fair and inclusive development.

Malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, obesity: three billion people worldwide lack access to healthy food, and the cost of inaction is staggering. According to the World Bank, the social and economic costs of malnutrition will exceed 21 trillion dollars globally over the next decade. Yet every dollar invested in nutrition generates a return of 23 dollars – one of the most profitable investments in terms of development.

For 黑料网911 and AFD, it is essential to integrate nutrition issues into every component of food systems, from production to consumption, via public policies and financing. This systemic approach also helps to connect nutritional goals to other sustainability objectives related to our food systems. These interconnected challenges demand immediate action to transform our food systems.
