Lunch Program | What’s for Lunch: Global Child Nutrition to Fuel Bright Futures

-

Today’s younger generations are growing up in a world of unprecedented possibilities and unparalleled challenges where food is concerned. From soaring rates of obesity in the United States and United Kingdom to malnutrition in parts of Asia, the dual burden of nutrition is shaping each generation’s health, productivity, and potential. Panelists in this session will highlight public-private partnerships aimed at transforming children's diets, providing regenerative school meals, managing the evolving influence of fast food, dealing with the profusion of ultraprocessed foods, and assessing the impact of youth-driven food trends. Join leading experts from around the world in nutrition, health, policy, food, and research to discover how collaboration can nourish not only today’s children, but the world they will inherit.
