Shaping the Global Food System to Deliver Improved Nutrition and Health

Every person on the planet must have a daily diet that is safe, nutritious and affordable. And so a vibrant, productive and resilient food system is vital if we are to end extreme poverty by 2030 and boost shared prosperity for the poorest 40 percent of the population in developing countries.Despite progress made in recent years toward reaching these goals, daunting challenges remain. Every day, 795 million people go hungry; one in four people in Sub-Saharan Africa
and one in six in South Asia do not consume their minimum dietary energy needs. Over 165 million children under five are stunted due to chronic malnutrition, which will have life-long consequences and prevent them from achieving their full potential. For each of them, their families, and their countries this is tragic; for society, it is nothing less than a medical and an economic emergency.While more than 2 billion people are not getting all the vitamins and minerals necessary for their growth and healthy development, another 2 billion people are struggling with the challenges of being overweight or obese—many of them in developing countries. These staggering numbers represent real and growing long-term consequences for people, economies, and our collective future.system and to do this by working across multiple sectors—and by helping countries
adapt to the perils of climate change. This report helps point the way forward by highlighting potentially transformative food
system advances. There are many good examples of individual interventions that are being implemented in diverse settings that countries can adopt, adapt and apply to their specific circumstances. As the report makes clear, no one-size plan fits all when it comes to transforming food systems. Countries need to tailor the combination of interventions with different
packages required in low-, middle- and high-income countries. Our challenge now is to combine sound policies, regulations,
and knowledge with targeted investments to help shape a global food system that delivers a nutritious, safe and affordable diet for all in a sustainable way. This is a mission in which we must succeed if we are to end extreme poverty and boost
shared prosperity in just 15 years.
