    Eliminating malnutrition in all its forms is imperative to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, and reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Today, nearly one in three persons globally suffers from at least one form of malnutrition – undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, overweight or obesity – and a large part of the world’s population is affected by diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
