The fast-growing world population (currently 7.6 billion – projected to be 10 billion by 2050) deserves a healthy, safe diet capable of providing the proper and most effective nutrients, as recommended by the FAO.
We are starting to see more and more promising and innovative food technologies emerge, all with very limited impact on the environment and biodiversity. However, their implementation is still largely in the future. Most of the world’s population continues to rely on existing nutrients that require intensive land use and farming of natural resources, including the employment of animal and human labor. Furthermore, while humanity in many parts of the world has been able to prosper and effectively reduce poverty, its impact on the environment has been detrimental, as the pace of climate change demonstrates.
Human beings must work together to discover, develop and implement policies that foster the production of innovative, safe and secure nutrients through sustainable supply chains, in order to meet as many SDGs as possible.
THE SUSTAINABLE NUTRITION PLATFORM
Sustainable Nutrition is a food system that aims to ensure accessible, affordable and culturally relevant foods that are wholesome and nutrient-dense, while preserving biodiversity and supporting individual rights and prosperity.
A group of experts with the mission to promote sustainable food supply chains and to shape policies through evidence-based debate and a multi-stakeholder approach.
Mission
We hammer out policies that favor sustainably grown nutrients. We engage Governments, global supply chain players, non-governmental organizations,consumer groups and civil society to innovate food systems, increment productivity, reduce waste, improve working conditions, and support cohesion and education at the local community level.
Vision
Through developments in science, innovation and technology, humanity can prosper and enjoy better living conditions, producing healthier, more secure, and sustainably grown food for all.
Reliance on Science
We reject any ideological approach that seeks a definitive solution to global challenges. We trust in policies and solutions that are rooted in scientific approaches and in the experimental method.+ | Read More
How we work
In order to achieve these goals, we engage Government and policymakers, food producers and distributors, NGOs, and nutrition and sustainability advocates to improve the quality of food, protect biodiversity and enhance human economic and social conditions.+ | Read More
