Book (series)The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2024
Trade and nutrition: policy coherence for healthy diets
2024The 2024 edition of The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets (SOCO 2024) explores complex linkages between food trade and nutrition and generates evidence to identify how trade affects dietary patterns and nutritional outcomes. The report examines the intersection of trade policies and nutrition measures and provides policy makers with an understanding of how to address nutrition objectives in the changing landscape of global food systems. Trade is integral to our food systems as it fulfils the fundamental role of moving food from surplus to deficit regions, thus contributing to food security. Global food markets connect people and countries around the world, shape the availability, diversity and prices of foods and thus can affect diets and nutrition outcomes. These effects can be widely heterogeneous across countries both in direction and magnitude. The 2024 edition of The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets explores the complex linkages between food trade and nutrition and generates evidence to show how trade can affect dietary patterns and nutritional outcomes. The report examines the intersection of trade policies and nutrition measures and provides policy makers with an understanding of how to pursue nutrition objectives in the context of trade agreements and within the changing landscape of global food systems. -
