Nutrition: What Needs To Be Done? -Jomo Kwame Sundaram and Vikas Rawal

-Economic and Political Weekly

About 805 million people - one in nine people worldwide - remain chronically hungry. Ending hunger and malnutrition requires strong political commitment at the highest level, effective coordination among various ministries and partners, and broad-based social participation. Three policy priorities are crucial to ending malnutrition - expansion of social protection; making smallholder agriculture more nutrition sensitive; and focusing on under-fi ve child and maternal nutrition defi ciencies. An integrated approach is needed to ensure that food consumed is nutritious, wholesome, acceptable, safe and affordable, especially to the poorest and most vulnerable.

Jomo Kwame Sundaram (jomoks@yahoo.com) is with the Food and Agriculture Organization and Vikas Rawal (vikasrawal @gmail.com) is with the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
