Hunger and undernutrition are persistent and unacceptable human tragedies that cause and perpetuate poverty and have huge social and economic costs. The case for improving food security and nutrition is clear; the challenge comes in accomplishing it. To achieve optimal impact, coordinated decisions across multiple sectors of society must be informed by the best knowledge available.
