Session Overview

Nutrition is one of the smartest investments we can make—every $1 invested delivers $23 in economic returns. Yet in 2022, more than 2.8 billion people could not afford a healthy diet, and malnutrition in all its forms continues to drive poor health and lost productivity. This high-level panel will explore how food systems can be transformed to make healthy diets accessible, affordable, and sustainable. Leaders from governments, multilateral agencies, and civil society will examine how to repurpose agricultural budgets, create healthier food environments, and mobilize financing for nutrition. Building on the Nutrition for Growth Summit and other global commitments, the session will showcase how integrating nutrition across agriculture, climate, health, and social protection policies can deliver multiple wins for people and the planet.
