At #RomeNutritionWeek26, @IFADPresident Álvaro Lario underscored nutrition’s central role in rural transformation.
Nutrition starts long before the plate, with farmers who have access to quality inputs, markets that connect them to buyers, functioning value chains that move food kitchen, infrastructure that reduces losses and policies that make all of this possible.
Aligned with national development priorities, #IFAD14 integrates nutrition across investments, and strengthens monitoring to track real progress on the ground. Because systems thinking without finance remains theoretical, and finance without functioning food systems delivers limited impact.
Closing the nutrition gap doesn't stop at knowledge. It requires investment, coordination and collective action across the entire food system.
