Improved diet quality and safety, and increase in the number of people who demand and can afford (by 50 million) and consume (by 3 million) a sustainable healthy diet, contributing to reducing the burden of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, diet-related non-communicable diseases, and foodborne illnesses in eight targeted countries. https://www.cgiar.org/initiative/30-sustainable-healthy-diets-through-food-systems-transformation-shift/
Description
With partners, CGIAR will engage closely with stakeholders at the national level and focus on the consumers and the food environments they interact with to acquire the foods they eat. It includes the development of a decision-support tool for trade-off scenarios and analysis to raise awareness and improve the capacity of food-system stakeholders to navigate potential trade-offs emerging from food-system interventions and policies.

Title
CGIAR work to improve global nutrition
Description
As the world’s largest public-sector research partnership, CGIAR has worked tirelessly with its extensive network of partners for 50 years to serve the needs of more than 500 million smallholder farmers who are responsible for feeding billions of people in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Now, building on this extensive record of research and innovation, CGIAR commits to contributing to collective global targets for nutrition, health and food security by:
1. Ending hunger for all and enabling affordable healthy diets for the 3 billion people who do not currently have access to safe and nutritious food.
2. Reducing cases of foodborne illness (600 million annually) and zoonotic disease (1 billion annually) by one-third.
To meet these goals, CGIAR announces the launch of a new portfolio of 32 research initiatives, supported by financial commitments of more than US$1 billion from a steadily growing global coalition.
