Big news! Today, we are officially launching our World Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Day Campaign! From local markets to global tables, nutrition MSMEs feed the world. But facing today's global economic and geopolitical pressures isn't easy.

Who is most at risk? While food safety affects everyone, the burden is not shared equally. Data shows that children under 5 account for 30% of foodborne deaths.  Policies must support the resilience of these populations to ensure food safety during shocks and stressors. @who.int #FoodSafety

Why does food safety matter to the economy? The cost of inaction is staggering. According to the World Bank, unsafe food costs low- and middle-income economies about $ 110 billion in lost productivity. Investing in safety from farm to fork is an investment in economic resilience. @fao.org

Why is food safety important? Because unsafe food undermines our ability to nourish the world. Ensuring food safety is critical to reducing malnutrition. We cannot achieve zero hunger without it. Here is why👇 #HealthierDiets4All #FoodSafety #SDGs @fao.org @who.int @wfp.org

GAIN alliance @gainhealth.org · 02/06/2026
If it isn't safe, it isn't food. Food security isn't just about quantity; it's about quality. Unsafe food directly harms public health and completely wastes the water, energy, and land used to produce it. At GAIN, food safety is foundational to every programme we design.

Why is a systems approach in food systems so important? Separating nutrition from agriculture or economics doesn't work. Everything is connected. Corinna Hawkes breaks down how systems thinking unlocks real impact. Listen to the entire podcast episode👉: bit.ly/4ah9oZZ @fao.org @ifpri.org @wfp.org

⏰ For too long, nutrition interventions have been viewed through the lens of welfare or aid. 🎯 It is time to shift that perspective. Investing in the nutrition of women is one of the highest-yield investments we can make in a nation's economic stability.

When women are well-nourished, they have the energy to lead, innovate, and drive their communities forward. Yet, structural inequalities continue to limit their access to resources, land, and decision-making power. We aren't just asking for this to change; we are actively investing in that change.
