In action - Joining forces to shape a resilient, sustainable, safe & healthy food system!
In this edition of In Action, there are WUWM’s new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), insightful interviews with experts as well as articles highlighting innovations that could have a game-changing role in improving nutrition, as well as some of our wholesale market initiatives to do so.
Ensuring healthy nutrition requires shifting eating patterns to embrace more diverse, nutritious and sustainable diets, in some countries. Research shows that we are at a crossroads and the forthcoming years will be critical in shifting away from unhealthy eating patterns that have caused a large percentage of diseases in developed countries. In low and middle income countries it requires price accessibility and availability. Wholesale markets have been very effective promoters of accessibility to healthy diets, with almost 50% of all fresh fruit and vegetables currently distributed through wholesale markets globally. Today, our mission at WUWM is to foster collaborations that enhance sustainable, healthier food environments, to act hand in hand with all relevant players to achieve SDGs, to ensure the reduction of all forms of malnutrition, and help citizens around the world enjoy healthier diets.
