Trends in Nutrition Programs & Policies

8-9 October 2014 hosted in Jakarta

The Aid & International Development Forum is the world leading platform to build collaboration among stakeholders to achieve a vision of nutrition as a driver of food security, environmental sustainability and economic opportunity. AIDF is a well attended summit by health, agriculture & environmental Ministries, senior Government representatives, leading NGO, UN agencies and a private sector facilitating building private public partnerships.

The Vision

The Vision

Worldwide two billion people have a micronutrient deficiency. Nutrition security goes beyond food security by considering a community’s diet quality, not just calories. Even people with access to sufficient amounts of food and calories may still lack essential micronutrients, increasing their risk for health consequences. AIDF is committed to the ongoing support of coordinated working within the Asia Pacific region and the enabling of more effective public-private understanding and partnerships to help ensure food safety and security.
