PSM – Sight and Life Case Study: Reducing Global Malnutrition One Egg at a Time – 2022
Stunting – inadequate length/height for age – in early childhood has multiple causes. These include inadequate maternal and/or early childhood nutrition, inadequate infant and young child feeding practices, poor environmental health, lack of dietary diversity, and illness. Low intake of animal-source foods (ASFs) rich in high-quality protein and other key nutrients during the complementary feeding period (6–24 months) is a signi cant factor here. Evidence suggests that the consumption of ASFs is associated with improved linear growth. At Sight and Life, we are devoted to increasing egg production and consumption in support of better nutrition for vulnerable populations worldwide. We report here on some egg-citing recent developments.

PSM – Gender Roundtable Report – 2022
The gender roundtable held on 7 April 2022 brought together 120 representatives of Member States, UN agencies, NGOs, academia, and private sector to discuss and showcase business commitments and initiatives that are accelerating action for gender equality. The consensus from the discussions was that there is need to massively scale ambition to achieve impact and make a difference in the lives of women in food systems. Strengthened partnerships, financing, co-creating solutions with women themselves, and policies that work were highlighted as instrumental in achieving this. The roundtable provided an opportunity to explore the themes of leadership, entrepreneurship, and nutrition with the aim of generating key messages, as highlighted below, that will contribute to the ongoing negotiations of the CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in the Context of Food Security and Nutrition.
