The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) – Nigeria office, in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) Nigeria, is proud to announce the Nigeria launch of the 2024 Global Food Policy Report on Food Systems for Healthy Diets and Nutrition. This pivotal report highlights critical challenges and opportunities for transforming food systems to ensure sustainable, healthy diets for all Nigerians. In a country where malnutrition remains a significant concern and millions struggle to afford nutritious foods, the report's findings are particularly relevant. Drawing on extensive research from IFPRI and CGIAR, the report provides actionable policy solutions tailored to low- and middle-income countries, emphasizing improved diet quality, nutrition, and food system governance.
This launch event will explore how Nigeria can leverage evidence-based solutions to improve diet quality and nutrition across the country. Key topics will include strategies to increase the availability, affordability, and desirability of healthy foods, strengthen food environments, and enhance governance for better nutritional outcomes. By bringing together policymakers and stakeholders in the nutrition and food systems space, this event aims to catalyze discussions on contextually appropriate actions to address Nigeria's unique food system challenges and advance the goal of sustainable food systems and healthier diets for all Nigerians.
Join us on July 25th, 2024 as we delve into the report's key findings and discuss the challenges and opportunities in transforming Nigeria's food systems to benefit both people and the planet.
