In this second webinar of a two-part series, EatSafe will highlight the importance of innovative solutions in food safety, and their applicability to low- and middle- income countries, specifically in traditional markets and along the food value chain.
In a joint article with One Acre Fund earlier this year, we called for greater attention to be paid to smallholder farmers, whose role is essential if we are to fulfil the needs of an ever-growing population – even in the face of climate change, economic turbulence, conflict, and the many other disruptions that lie ahead.
Efforts to feed the world’s growing population are exacting a heavy toll on the health of the planet, with modern global food systems threatening multiple planetary boundaries.
The global food system is experiencing the worst crisis in history. Unlike the food price crisis of 2007-8, in 2022 there is a convergence of multiple crises. Hunger and malnutrition have soared in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
Food system actors and stakeholders need actionable evidence to make decisions that can bring about food system transformation, yet no such mechanism currently exists.
In line with our Environment Strategy, we aim to do the following at COP27 - Highlight the need for coordinated and integrated action on climate and nutrition to prevent disastrous increases in food insecurity and malnutrition resulting from climate change
Far too often, nutritious foods (many of which are perishable, and therefore susceptible to being lost or wasted through the supply chain) never make it to consumers. With levels of hunger and malnutrition as high as they currently are, this is a travesty.
Today, more than 125 countries have mandatory food fortification programmes. Food fortification requires a "premix" – a mixture of vitamins and minerals – that can then be added to various staple products.
GAIN proudly congratulates the winning cities of the 2022 Milan Urban Food Policy Pact Awards. Executive Director, Lawrence Haddad was part of an international jury of experts who evaluated the urban food systems practices, submitted by cities, across six categories: Governance, Sustainable Diets and Nutrition, Social and Economic Equity, Food Production, Food Supply and Distribution and Food Waste.
