Book (stand-alone)Stepping up – Everyone around the table for better nutrition and healthy diets
Step 3: Going to scale
2021Also available in:
No results found.This paper, STEP 3, is the third of three background papers produced to inform the ‘Everyone Around the Table: FAO/GAIN Roundtable with Private Sector on Healthy Diets’ series of virtual roundtables which took place in July 2020. As in STEP 1 and STEP 2, the topics covered are relevant to all regions, but where possible a greater focus has been given to low- and middle-income countries. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are again a focus, given their role in the food systems of these regions (see STEP 1 for more detail), including their common presence in the food environments of many people living in poverty. STEP 3 (this paper) looks more closely at what it means to go to scale with healthy diets and better nutrition, providing examples and reflections for all stakeholders to consider. -

Step 2: Shaping the enabling environment
2021Also available in:
No results found.This is the second of three background papers produced to inform the ‘Everyone Around the Table: FAO/GAIN Roundtable with Private Sector on Healthy Diets’ virtual roundtable series scheduled for mid-2020. While the range of topics discussed is relevant to all countries, where possible a greater focus has been given to low- and middle-income country contexts. STEP 2 (this paper) sets out some channels to advance this agenda by improving the enabling environment – the policies, incentives, rules and regulations that shape behaviours (and enable good practice). Though governments lead in this area, there are clear responsibilities for all stakeholders. -
Policy briefPrivate sector and healthy diets: highlights from 2020 multi-stakeholder roundtables
aug/21
2021Also available in:
No results found.The State of Food Security and Nutrition Report 2020 indicates how misaligned our current food systems are, with some 3 billion people around the world who cannot afford the cheapest healthy diet (FAO et al., 2020). Several other key statistics support the consensus that food systems must be transformed. The private sector, in particular micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), have a key role to play in providing the bulk of the food that people in low- and middle-income countries eat, particularly poorer households – and the great potential that exists for stakeholders from different groups to work together to improve the availability, affordability, and desirability of healthy diets. In this regard, in 2020, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) convened a series of virtual roundtables titled “Private Sector on Healthy Diets: Everyone Around the Table. This briefing paper shares an overview of the type of policy recommendations arising from the discussions and background papers prepared for the FAO-GAIN virtual roundtables – with a focus on policy of governments as well as policy of institutions and organisations, including businesses and development partners.
