Nutrition & food security

Battle malnutrition and hunger with the help of our food security consultants

Nutrition & food security

Access to nutritious and secure food supplies is a key concern for consumers, governments, and businesses alike. The global population relies on the food and agribusiness industry to provide a reliable supply of food that is both plentiful and nutritious.

However, growing concerns over climate change, population growth, and supply chain shocks are placing increased pressure on all levels of the food supply chain. In 2022, approximately 2.4 billion people did not have consistent access to nutritious, safe, and sufficient food, and previously self-sustaining rural regions are becoming dependent on national and global food markets to survive. In response to these shifting demands, governments and businesses must establish robust food control systems and food management systems that increase food productivity and build resilient food systems.

What can be done to improve food security in developing countries?

To improve food security, countries must focus on enhancing agricultural productivity, ensuring access to technology and markets for small-scale farmers, and implementing targeted educational and poverty reduction programs. Building resilient local food systems is also key.

Why role does nutrition play in food security?

Nutrition is crucial in food security because it’s not just about having enough food, but having the right kind. Nutritious diets are essential for good health, preventing malnutrition and diseases, and ensuring physical and cognitive development, especially in children.

How can food security consultants contribute to this cause?

Food security consultants provide expertise in developing robust food systems. They assist governments and businesses in creating strategies to ensure efficient, sustainable food production and distribution, thus contributing to the reduction of global hunger.

How can agtech improve food security?

Agtech can enhance food security by increasing the efficiency and sustainability of food production. Innovations in agtech help improve crop yields, reduce waste, and streamline supply chains, making food systems more resilient.

How does food security impact economic growth?

Food security is a key driver of economic growth. It stabilises markets, boosts productivity, and promotes investment in food-related sectors. Secure food supplies enable a healthy workforce, leading to improved economic performance and poverty reduction.
