Event: Affordability of Healthy Diets in South Asia - Challenges and Recommendations
When: December 15-16, 2022
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Healthy diets are unaffordable across most of South Asia. The UN FAO’s State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report (2022) estimates that as of 2020, 1331.5 million people across South Asia could not afford to purchase a healthy, nutritious diet. 973.3 million of these were in India, 184.4 million in Pakistan, and 121.1 million in Bangladesh. The magnitude of the problem calls for urgent, innovative, and at-scale solutions across the region.
The One CGIAR Initiative Transforming Agricultural Food Systems in South Asia (TAFSSA) is hosting a two-day hybrid event on the ‘Affordability of Healthy Diets in South Asia’ on December 15 & 16, 2022 at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, India. The event aims to engage actively with ongoing controversies and debates around the many strategies to make healthy diets more affordable in the region.
