2020 Borlaug Dialogue – The World Food Prize Foundation

Description

Recognizing the global call to achieve safe, affordable, nutritious food year-round, our food systems must deliver on multiple fronts; delivering nutrition is non-negotiable. While we must address needs at the global level, we also must focus on national and subnational efforts to deliver nutrition interventions at the local level. The most vulnerable individuals, including pregnant and lactating women and children in the first 1,000 days of life, must be at the core of policies reducing under-nutrition. Sustainable food systems also are non-negotiable. This roundtable will consider the trade-offs between different diets that must address these issues to fill significant and diverse nutrition gaps.
