What:

In 2021, countries committed to transforming their food systems to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Four years on, the UN Food Systems Summit +4 (UNFSS+4) offers a critical moment to take stock of progress and ensure nutrition is at the heart of these transformations.

Our food systems are the first line of defense against hunger and malnutrition - but investment needs to go beyond delivering more food to more nutritious food that is available and affordable for those who need it most.

Nutrition is essential to sustainable food systems transformation, but integration remains uneven: global attention has often focused on production, rather than how food systems can deliver better nutrition, health, and resilience.

Ahead of and during this important event, the SUN Movement is working to shift the narrative.

The SUN Movement’s priorities at UNFSS+4

SUN is supporting the advocacy efforts of its member countries, networks, and partners to position nutrition as a key outcome of food systems transformation. This includes:

• Elevating country voices: we are supporting SUN Focal Points and food systems convenors to share progress on integrating nutrition into food systems transformation. This will amplify commitments from the Nutrition For Growth (N4G) Summit and build a shared narrative on  champion nutrition in national pathways.
• Building alliances: Strengthening ties across ministries, SUN networks, and partners to promote shared nutrition goals and identify champion countries.
• Amplifying messages: Aligning SUN networks and stakeholders around common messages on nutrition integration—and the role of SUN in delivering results
• Advancing financing: advancing opportunities to integrate nutrition in financing commitments to be announced at UNFSS+4.
