Incorporating healthy food options can improve the state of the planet and human health while also increasing productivity and generating economic and human capital gains. But nutrition, compared to other issues like climate change and epidemics, has failed to gain much attention or financing from the global community.

Writing in the scientific journal Nature Food, Research Director Kenji Shibuya and his co-authors argue that given the constraints in development assistance and domestic financing, critical actions must be taken to catalyze innovative financing from the private sector to generate both “more money for nutrition" and "more nutrition for the money.”
