Nutrition for Growth: Beating Hunger through Business and Science

The UK government, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), and the Government of Brazil co-hosted Nutrition for Growth: Beating Hunger through Business and Science on 8 June to bring together business leaders, scientists, governments and civil society to make the political and financial commitments needed to prevent undernutrition, enabling people and nations to prosper. In London's Hyde Park, thousands of people (private and public sector) gathered to urge G8 leaders to tackle hunger, ensure greater transparency over land deals, and close loopholes that allow companies to dodge paying tax in poor countries. Meanwhile, the UK prime minister presided over a summit that resulted in donors committing $4bn to address nutrition and hunger.
