Global action for a healthier future

Despite advancements in healthcare, over 5 billion people still suffer from inadequate micronutrient intake, a crisis known as "hidden hunger." These deficiencies, impacting vital nutrients like iodine, vitamin E, calcium, and iron, affect people globally, and are not confined to low-income regions, but are pervasive across all income levels and regions. The implications of this are profound, affecting not only health outcomes but also limiting human potential on a global scale. The conversation around food security must evolve. It's no longer sufficient to focus solely on the quantity of food available; the quality, diversity, and nutritional value of that food are equally, if not more, critical. 

Speakers:

• Yannick Foing - Vice President Nutrition Improvement, dsm-firmenich
• Saskia Osendarp – Executive Director, Micronutrient Forum
• Leonie Vierck - Deputy Director, Nutrition - Gates Foundation
• Greg S. Garrett - Executive Director, Access To Nutrition Initiative

This session lasts 45 min.
