Collaborating to end malnutrition

Elevate global access to nutrition

We believe essential and equitable nutrition is a human right. Yet over 3 billion people, in both developing and developed countries, suffer from malnutrition or hidden hunger. Together, we can elevate global nutritional status by joining hands across the public and private sectors to increase access to high-quality nutrition. 

Beyond providing innovative Solutions for Essential and Equitable Nutrition (SEEN), we form strategic cross-sector partnerships to ensure an inclusive approach to address the complex issue of malnutrition. Along with our partners, we campaign tirelessly to ensure that the global malnourished are SEEN, so that hunger is never hidden. Join us to make more nutritious products accessible to all – and build a healthier and more sustainable world.

Tackling malnutrition and hidden hunger head on

To advance opportunities for individuals, communities and countries, our goal is to close the micronutrient gap of 800 million by 2030, using four key strategies.

Partnerships to end hidden hunger

Tackling global malnutrition requires ambitious solutions on an equal scale. That’s why we partner with businesses, governments, United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations and more. Together we coordinate strategic initiatives to seamlessly deliver scalable, efficient and sustainable nutritional interventions.
