🌍 Making (mal)nutrition everyone's business! 💡 Check out Katharina Stenholm and François Scheffler owning the outcome at last week's Nutrition For Growth (N4G) Summit in Paris.   Malnutrition impacts millions of lives globally – but progress is possible. Bringing together world leaders, policymakers, private sector representatives, and civil society organizations, the N4G Summit was all about accelerating real change through bold commitments, urgent action, and global collaboration.    During the summit, we were proud to announce our new partnership with MedAccess to secure stable and affordable pricing for Vitamin A in food fortification across low- and middle-income countries. Vitamin A is critical for public health, and this first-of-its-kind deal in nutrition exemplifies the innovative and collaborative solutions needed to tackle malnutrition. These global collaborations will be key to meeting our commitment: reaching 1 billion people by 2030 with solutions to address micronutrient deficiency.   At the end of N4G, participants reiterated their commitment to tackling all forms of malnutrition, with announcements including national food policies and bold commitments in the humanitarian and development spheres. The EU and its Member States committed €6.5 billion, including €3.4 billion from the European Commission, contributing to the international community's record-high US$27.55 billion to tackle malnutrition and ensure access to affordable and nutritious foods.

From governments to businesses, NGOs to communities—everyone has a role to play in ending malnutrition. Let’s join forces and make nutrition a global priority! 🙌    #N4G #NutritionForGrowth #Sustainability #Innovation #DSMfirmenich #GlobalHealth #Malnutrition #CollaborativeSolutions #itallstartswithnutrition
