Improving nutrition and promoting healthy diets through food systems and agriculture policies 2019

Making food and agriculture systems more nutrition-sensitive requires action by stakeholders involved at all stages of the food systems, from primary production up to consumer level, including policy-makers. Integrated agriculture-nutrition programming is gaining increasing attention in the international development community, while there is growing interest in identifying ways in which the food and agriculture sectors can contribute to improved food consumption and nutrition. In order to scale up efforts to develop capacities for nutrition sensitive food systems, the project aims to develop a holistic approach targeting a wide range of stakeholders. The main focus of the project is on strengthening individual capacities, with these efforts to be accompanied by advocacy at organizational and policy level, together with partnerships with national, regional and global institutions, in order to ensure an enabling environment within the countries.

In December 2016, FAO and WHO convened an International Symposium on Sustainable Food Systems for Healthy Diets and Improved Nutrition, gathering delegates from 90 UN Member States representatives of intergovernmental organizations, private-sector entities, civil society organizations, academia/research organizations and producer organizations/cooperatives. The symposium aimed to increase awareness of today’s urgent food and nutrition challenges, and to create a forum to discuss strategies for regulation and reform, in the aftermath of the ICN2 and under the umbrella of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016-2025. Nine parallel sessions comprising expert presentations and country case studies were complemented by a session on the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition, a student’s session, plenary and special events. These proceedings include summaries of the parallel sessions, summaries and transcriptions from the plenary and Decade of Action sessions, to contribute to better-informed, accelerated action at national, regional and global levels on the urgent need to improve the human and environmental health of food systems worldwide and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
