Transforming food systems and investing in Nutrition for Growth - staple food fortification and the role of the private sector
Share on
Global food systems are powered by private sector investment and entrepreneurs, micro, small, medium, and large. Staple food fortification is an extremely effective, low-cost, food systems intervention with enormous potential to reduce micronutrient malnutrition across large populations.
Effective and sustainable fortification is only possible where the public sector (which has the mandate and responsibility to improve the health of the population) and the private sector (which has experience and expertise in food production and marketing) collaborate to develop, produce, and promote micronutrient-fortified foods.
