Business is both part of the problem and the solution to the current food systems challenges. It is critical that we all learn more about this dual impact and that we are able to track how it evolves. By increasing the effectiveness of tracking we will be better positioned to ask and assist businesses to be agents for positive change.
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) has developed a successful program in several East African countries to address malnutrition through a market-based approach – the Marketplace for Nutritious Foods. This program is in place in Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya, and is being expanded to Rwanda.
This special report discusses main investment hurdles and constraints in fighting malnutrition at the global and local levels and ways to deliver inclusive and sustainable business solutions that improve nutrition.
This forum report was generated from the 5th GAIN Business Alliance Forum held in Vienna in 2011. The Forum brought together a wide range of expertise and knowledge on nutrition and businesses, to learn and engage on innovative solutions and private sector approaches for delivering more affordable nutritious products in developing countries.
