As the world gathers for the 2025 Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris today, a fundamental question demands attention; how can we transform food systems to prioritise nutrition, and not just quantity? This is because decisions made now will shape the health, prosperity, and sustainability of future generations. Food lies at the heart of all malnutrition—whether it’s wasting, anemia, type 2 diabetes, or obesity. Quantity matters, of course, but quality and safety are just as critical.

Last week, COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, signaled its intent to bring food systems into future COP negotiations. Until now, fixing food systems had hardly been on the environmental agenda, with most attention going to the energy sector. Yet there is a clear consensus that food systems are badly affected by extreme weather events and offer a solution for our climate crisis. They produce around 30 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
