Nutrition-sensitive food systems

This webinar aimed at providing a general overview of the concept of nutrition-sensitive food systems. After summarizing the basic elements and explaining the interrelation of food systems and nutrition, as well as the theme of sustainability, the presenters focused on measures aimed at improving value chains, the food environment and consumer behaviour. Examples of specific measures included, among others, efforts to establish organic agriculture in Kyrgyzstan, and efforts to reduce micronutrient deficiency in Tajikistan.



After the presentations, participants and lecturers engaged in an active round of discussion focusing on issues such as nutrition indicators in school food programmes, intersectoral coordination, different types of food systems, the relevance of agro-ecology in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, drivers of behaviour change, and the impact of climate change.
