Urban Rural Linkages for Nutrition

The nutrition challenges facing the world of today are daunting. One out of three people suffers from at least one form of malnutrition, and current trends suggest this may increase in the coming years. Every country in every region in the world is affected. The causes of malnutrition are multisectoral, and so reaching global and national goals requires addressing numerous underlying and structural factors as well as securing the concerted attention of a broad range of actors. The persistence of malnutrition has severe consequences for social and economic development, thus inhibiting attainment of many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The systems that determine nutrition need to undergo transformational change. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) reaffirm this analysis and call to action.
