The messages of the report are closely aligned with the 2020 Global Nutrition Report, highlighting the scale of the issue of global malnutrition and the impact of COVID-19. The issue of inequity is a key theme in the report and was highlighted at the launch.

[Venkatesh Mannar @MGVMannar]

The role of the food industry to produce and market healthy foods has never been greater. This initiative will help advocate for and monitor such a shift.

[Global Nutrition Report @GNReport]

Today @ATNIndex will publish new research on how the #foodindustry is responding to #COVID19, alongside a framework for assessing responses – a valuable tool helping to hold business accountable for producing & marketing #healthyfood products.

[Khagen Barmann @KhagenBarman1]

@htTweets @LalitaPanicker This is the main point, most of the Indians are lacking of nutrition, as a result outbreak of #COVID19 is increasing day by day, so, along with the treatment, govt should take necessary steps to give knowledge to the people, why nutrient foods are essential.

@FAO calls for a dramatic shift in food systems policy to eliminate #hunger, achieve #foodsecurity and improved #nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. Important piece on this in @devex by @tmawelsh 👉https://t.co/RIRTEAE5DK

[Devex @devex]

A dramatic shift in global policy governing food systems is needed if the world is to sustainably feed a growing population during and after the pandemic and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, according to a new report by an independent arm of @FAO. @tmawelsh reports.

Every % drop in global GDP means an additional 0.7 million stunted children. #COVID19 has exposed weaknesses in our #foodsystems and we need to act to protect millions of vulnerable people from food insecurity and #malnutrition. @AntonioGuterres @FAO https://t.co/EKDJeIIQ2o

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Our food systems are failing us. And #COVID19 is making things worse.

We must invest in the future & transform our food systems to build a more inclusive & sustainable world.

Proud to hear of the good work done by my alma mater organization (formerly MI). While measures to slow the spread of #COVID19 are enacted around the world, we must ensure that there is enough #nutritious food to cover basic nutrition needs – especially for the most vulnerable.

Great podcast by @AJTheTake on how #COVID-19 has exposed weakneses in global food chains and is causing a #hungercrisis. We need more coordinated action by governments, businesses and civil society to protect the vulnerable. @Duartegeraldino 👉https://t.co/juFDHTmnjw

#COVID19 threatens to push millions to starvation, reversing recent gains to tackle poverty and #hunger. Governments, with the support of donors and the international community, need to act now to help vulnerable populations through this crisis. @WFPChief https://t.co/5QPAIuaYYc

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

The world has made tremendous progress fighting poverty & hunger in the last 3 decades: Extreme poverty has been halved & hunger dropped by 25%. But now hunger is skyrocketing again, made worse by #COVID19.
