This event will shine a light on the vital role that local millers – food processors – can play to advance this agenda, especially for the most vulnerable, through the fortification of commonly consumed foods with essential micronutrients, which is a proven and effective public health nutrition intervention. Bringing together millers with large companies and other stakeholders from across the fortification food value chain, this event will identify what needs to be done differently to enable local millers to scale up access to nourishing diets for millions of vulnerable people affected by malnutrition, with leaders from across sectors committing to action to further unlock the opportunity.
