Making Food Systems more Sustainable to Ensure the Promotion of Healthy Diets - GCP/GLO/964/GER
Combating malnutrition in all its forms – undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity – is among the most pressing challenges facing countries today. The global governance architecture of food security and nutrition involves a wide range of actors, agencies, platforms and initiatives. Increasingly, the Rome-based agencies of the United Nations, cooperating among themselves through the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), have become pivotal to global policy guidance, monitoring of Sustainable Development Goal 2 and efforts towards zero hunger. The project was designed to complement resources and contribute to voluntary support for the CFS policy convergence process, in turn leading to the finalization of the Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition (VGFSyN). These Guidelines are expected to contribute to improving food systems and make them more sustainable to ensure the promotion of healthy diets. They will provide a global consensus document for governments and other stakeholders on the appropriate policies, investments and institutional arrangements needed to address the key causes of malnutrition in all its forms.
