The BIG question How do we make agriculture-food systems healthy and sustainable?

SLIDE 3

Knowledge gaps constrain action

§ Weak evidence on:

Linkages (and heterogeneity of these linkages) between

agriculture/food systems and nutrition and health outcomes

Policies and programmes that could effectively and

sustainably tackle malnutrition

§ Scattered research efforts with little cross-sectoral

and cross-institutional coordination and learning limit progress
