Synopsis (short abstract) This fact sheet promotes the course Sustainable Food Value Chains for Nutrition. Food systems play a central role in promoting the consumption of diverse, nutritious and safe food for all and in fighting all forms of malnutrition. In order to navigate the complexity of food systems and identify entry points for nutritionsensitive policy and investments, sustainable food value chains for nutrition (SFVCN) have emerged as a useful tool and are increasingly recognized as a way to operationalize nutrition-sensitive food systems.
