Global Nutrition Alliance
Nutrition is the foundation of global health and a vital step towards building a healthy planet.
We envision a world where everyone has access to adequate nutrition, regardless of location, income or circumstance.
Food systems must be transformed to cope with a growing population and a changing climate. Malnutrition affects millions of people across borders, and ending it requires collective action and sustained investment in nutrition programs.
The Global Nutrition Alliance brings together researchers, clinicians and public health experts working on nutrition and food systems, to share evidence and to inform policy.
