Nutrition for women and children—Are we doing the right things in the right way?

Résumé

The recent 2019 report on the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World paints a picture of some progress, but also highlights alarming developments in certain areas After a period of decline, hunger is now increasing, and over 2 billion people do not have regular access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. Hunger has also increased in middle-income countries. Anemia in women continues to be a widespread problem, and there is a gender gap with more women than men being food insecure. One in seven newborns suffered from low birth weight in 2015; there has been no improvement in recent years. The number of children with stunted linear growth has decreased, but this progress is insufficient to meet the 2030 target of halving the total number of stunted children. Currently, almost 150 million children are stunted, and 50 million suffer from wasting.
