Synopsis (short abstract) The resource guide is part of the follow-up to the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) that was held in November 2014 in Rome, Italy. It aims at guiding countries to translate the 60 recommended policy options and actions of the ICN2 Framework of Action into country-specific commitments for action. This process is done according to the national needs and conditions, and builds on existing policies, strategies, programmes, plans and investments in order to achieve the 10 commitments of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition, under the UN Decade of Action for Nutrition 2016-2025 (www.un.org/nutrition).

Une vision commune pour une action mondiale visant à éliminer la faim et à mettre fin à toutes les formes de malnutrition a été définie par les dix engagements de la Déclaration de Rome sur la nutrition ainsi que les 60 options politiques et stratégies recommandées dans son Cadre d’action adoptés à la deuxième Conférence internationale sur la nutrition (CIN2), en novembre 2014. La mise en œuvre des dix engagements par l’intermédiaire du Cadre d’action de la CIN2 contribuera à assurer la reddition de comptes et le suivi des progrès accomplis en ce qui concerne les six cibles mondiales en matière de nutrition pour 2025 fixées par l’Assemblée mondiale de la santé ainsi que les cibles mondiales volontaires concernant les maladies non transmissibles liées à la nutrition. Suite à la recommandation formulée dans la Déclaration de Rome, l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies a proclamé, en avril 2016, la Décennie d’action des Nations Unies pour la nutrition 2016-2025. Celle-ci offre une occasion unique à l’ensemble des pays et aux parties prenantes de s’unir autour d’un cadre commun et d’accroître la visibilité, de renforcer la coordination, d’améliorer l’efficacité et l’efficience de l’action en matière de nutrition à tous les niveaux et dans le monde entier.

At its 42nd session in October 2015, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) requested the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE) to prepare a report on Nutrition and Food Systems, to be presented at CFS 44 in October 2017. This topic is highly relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the implementation of the 2014 Rome Declaration on Nutrition, the subsequent Decade of Action for Nutrition, and the fulfilment of the right to adequate food. The purpose of this report is two-fold: (i) to analyse how food systems influence people’s dietary patterns and nutritional outcomes; and (ii) to highlight effective policies and programmes that have the potential to shape food systems, contribute to improved nutrition and ensure that food is produced, distributed and consumed in a sustainable manner that protects the right to adequate food for all. This report is illustrated by short case studies reflecting the wide variety of practical experiences in diff erent contexts. It also provides a set of action-oriented recommendations addressed to states and other stakeholders in order to inform CFS engagement in advancing nutrition and CFS contribution to the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016–2025).
