GAIN and the Consumer Goods Forum co-convened a meeting on Better Nutrition for a Healthier Workforce. The purpose was to review the evidence and, if warranted, to elevate the issue beyond the rather low-key profile it currently has. What is a workforce nutrition programme? We reviewed evidence from high- and low-income countries and from corporate headquarters to supply chain settings.
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the Consumer Goods for Forum (CGF) are co-hosting a technical workshop to bring together partners from the public and private sectors to discuss best practices, challenges and opportunities in improving employee nutrition across supply chains.
The high-level meeting will present the lessons learned from the application in the field of responsible agricultural investment principles, and assess relevant policy dimensions and future policy-oriented research and work directions.
