Recently, the Global Nutrition Report (2014-16) describes a new norm of malnutrition in Asian emerging markets: obesity and non-communicable diseases are on the rise, while a substantial proportion of people still suffer from undernutrition. People living in cities now outnumber those living in rural areas and research suggests a convergence in urban and rural consumer demand for packaged or processed foods within low- and middle-income Asian countries. Both how economics favors the production of cheap, energy-dense but nutrient-poor foods and their growing contributions to modern diets in low- and medium-income populations are important factors in the growing double-burden of malnutrition and disease. All sectors involved in the food and nutrition value-chain need to work together to achieve the research-driven incremental improvements and disruptive innovations that shift the factors of food production and consumption towards improved nutritional and health-related outcomes.
Measuring Food Insecurity in the Sustainable Development GoalsFrancois Stepman
15 September 2021. In 2013, FAO launched the “Voices of the Hungry” project, establishing a new globally valid tool called the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). The latter provides an approach for measuring the severity of people’s food insecurity condition by looking at their own experiences, allowing to hear the voices of the people who struggle daily to have access to safe and nutritious food.
The objective of this RUFORUM webinar was to introduce FIES as a tool for measuring food insecurity at different levels and raise awareness among the participants on FAO’s work linked to food security data and the SDGs.

GOOD NUTRITION IS THE BEDROCK OF HUMAN WELL-BEING. BEFORE BIRTH AND THROUGHOUT INFANCY, GOOD NUTRITION ALLOWS BRAIN FUNCTIONING TO evolve without impairment and immune systems to develop more robustly. For young children, good nutrition status averts death and equips the body to grow and develop to its full potential. Over the course of the human lifespan, it leads to more effective learning at school, better-nourished mothers who give birth to better-nourished children, and adults who are likelier to be productive and earn higher wages. In middle age, it gives people metabolisms that are better prepared to ward off the diseases associated with changes in diet and physical activity. Without good nutrition, people’s lives and livelihoods are built on quicksand.

The importance of food is increasingly included on the urban agenda in many nations. Food systems consists of the various processes and infrastructures involved in feeding the society, including growing and harvesting, production, processing, transportation, distribution, and consumption. Food policy is designed to influence the operation of the food systems. Food insecurity access to adequate food for all is a global problem. So is the food policy. Global interdependence in the worlds food market makes analysis of food policies more difficult. For example, China, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka are committed to solving the pressing problems of hunger and poverty in their nations. This paper provides a brief introduction on food policy at the global level. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J. Ashaolu | Sarhan M.

Introduction: Jean-Pierre Halkin, Head of Unit - DEVCO C1- Rural development, Food security, Nutrition
Presentation: Maximo Torrero, Director, Markets, Trade and Institutions Division, International Food Policy Research Institute
Food is life and the global food sustainability is essential to human being survival. The global food system is highly
complex and is driven by various factors including environment, cultural, social and economic drive. It is vital to understand
these drivers and their interaction in order to help to improve the public food sustainability policies. Global polices and projects
desperately required in order improving the global food sustainability. Food sustainability is one of the unsolved global issues
and great commitment is required starting from global policy makers, national governments, and every individual home. This
research paper includes analysis and study of various elements such as global change science, policy, food crisis, factor affecting
and challenging food security, data on status and future projection and potential ways of solving problems. The goal of food
sustainability is to enable all people throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs and have a reasonable quality of life without
compromising the quality of life of future generations. Agriculture sustainability is the best solution which can feed the world
without compromising the environment or threatening human health. Scientific evidence that global environment has changed
is overwhelming and indisputable. These phenomena have a direct impact on agriculture which in turn affects food
sustainability. The food price is always toward upward trend which is validated by the periodic average global food price
monitoring report released by the Food and agricultural organizations. The factors affecting and challenging the food security
are many including increased food consumption due to population increase, uneven distribution, changes in living styles, limited
resources, environmental problems, economic problems and others. The potential ways to solve food sustainability need to be
established and implemented effectively across the world.

While the research agenda is growing, there remains limited concrete evidence on how agriculture–nutrition linkages work. A mapping exercise has been completed by DFID/LCIRAH outlining the research gaps. However more nutrition-relevant data from agricultural interventions needs to be generated, collected and shared, and nutritional indicators need to be included in evaluations. LCIRAH identify the need for greater understanding of the pathways from agricultural inputs and practices through value chains to effects on food environment, consumption and nutrition.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

14. AGRICULTURAL INVESTMENT TRENDS
➢ Overall, public investments
in AGR in HICs> L/MICs
➢ ~$675 bln in AGR
Subsidies globally
➢ Public investments foster
calorie dense cereals/
commodities: wheat,
rice, maize, sugar,
palm oil.
➢ Private Incentives and Price
Signals reinforce choices:
➢ 45% of private sector
funded research was
directed towards maize
➢ Processed foods =80%
of global food sales 14

15. IS THERE A CAUSAL LINK BETWEEN SUBSIDES AND DIETARY
OUTCOMES?
• Export subsidies and domestic consumption aids (€500m yearly) are granted to 1/3 of all butter produced in the EU in
order to dispose of butter mountains.
• Export subsidies for milk products undermine the milk sector in many developing countries such as the Dominican
Republic, Kenya, India, and Jamaica.
• Does overproduction of food in rich countries and use of trade distorting measures undermine the agricultural sectors’
performance in developing countries, hindering the eradication of malnutrition?

I. IDENTIFY & SCALE-UP IMPACTFUL, COST-
EFFECTIVE NUTRITION INTERVENTIONS
Four Solutions to Close the Gap
21. THE WORLD BANK’S APPROACH
21
• Embraced nutrition as a multi-sectoral agenda. Since the launch of the Scaling Up Nutrition
(SUN) movement at the Bank’s Spring Meetings in 2010, we have started to work across
sectors (Agriculture, Health, Water, Education) at the Bank to address nutrition.
• More direct financing for maternal and early childhood nutrition. A WB financial
commitment of US$ 93.02 million as of 2015 against a commitment to triple direct financing
for maternal and early childhood nutrition programs in developing countries in 2013-2014 to
US$ 600 million (USD $230 million in 2011-12), and against the approximately US$ 7
billion/year globally that would cost to scale up high-impact nutrition interventions (WB
Investment Framework for Nutrition).
• The Bank screens both Agriculture Practice and Bank-wide projects with primarily
agricultural objectives for opportunities to enhance nutrition outcomes. By identifying
activities with an explicit nutrition focus both within the ag and other global practices, the
Bank systematically comments on the preparation documents of every project in the pipeline
for opportunities to include nutrition-sensitive interventions. 100% of the agriculture pipeline
has been screened for nutrition-sensitivity since November 2014 and the screening has
been institutionalized within the WBG.1
• Increasing the share of the number of projects with an explicit focus on nutrition. The Bank
has continued to ramp up efforts to support a food system that can provide, inter alia, safe
food and adequate nutrition, and to increase the share of agricultural projects with an explicit
focus on nutrition.
22. FOOD FOR THOUGHT
How might
we*…
* Development Partners
Create scalable strategies for
delivering high-impact interventions?
Make existing investments more
nutrition-sensitive?
Enhance the technical efficiency of
nutrition spending?
Strengthen M&E mechanisms by
including individual, age and gender
disaggregated data about diet quality
and the underlying causes for
malnutrition?
Build a repository for data and
evidence on the link between
agriculture food quality and nutrition?22
24. THE WORLD BANK’S APPROACH
Within the agriculture sector, the Bank is actively promoting the role of
agriculture and food systems in addressing malnutrition. The Bank’s work is
aligned around four strategic pillars: (a) ensuring a more climate-smart agriculture;
(b) improving nutritional outcomes; (c) strengthening value chains and improving
market access; and (d) promoting rural livelihoods and agriculture employment
(Townsend, 2015).

Description Examples
Projects
with explicit mention of the
nutrition sensitive aspects of
agricultural production and
marketing in agricultural
projects (this includes
undernutrition and
overweight and obesity).
• Explicit reference to the quality and nutritional value of agricultural
produce and production
• Biofortification (growing of, research on, introduction of biofortified crops)
• Food fortification (as part of food processing, such as enriched flour
milling)
• Improved marketing opportunities for nutritious food, including home
grown school-feeding
• Nutrition education and knowledge activities (or behavioral change
communication, BCC), such as nutrition messages included in extension
training (e.g. home economics type training such as food preservation), and
importance of dietary diversity, improved food preparation/preservation,
and introduction of improved recipes.
• Dietary diversity and consumption
• Labor saving technologies (for women)
• Increased year round availability of high nutrient content food, such as
fruits, vegetables,legumes, fish, milk, poultry, meat
• Increased year round availability of staples (emphasis should be on the
temporal aspect: "year round availability")
