Global Food and Nutrition Security

Brief me

In the last 70 years, our food systems have been transformed to reduce undernourishment and food insecurity. These changes have indeed contributed to a substantial decrease in the global hunger. However, despite the efforts, almost 690 million people are still undernourished today. Those transformations prompted progress, but it is also true that they came with a price tag on both the planet and global health and nutrition. Natural resources depletion, loss of biodiversity and climate change have come along with a surge in obesity and non-communicable diseases worldwide.
