While over 800 million people – more than one in 10 worldwide – suffer from undernutrition, one-third of all food produced goes to waste. Levels of overweight and obesity continue to increase, now affecting more than two billion children and adults. Unhealthy diets have become a leading risk factor for disease globally and the main driver of the epidemic of chronic conditions. To end malnutrition in all its forms, the world must holistically address all food-related challenges.
The “Advancing Equitable Livelihoods” session will be part of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Bold Action for Food as Force for Good” to mobilize multi-stakeholder action in pursuit of Action Track 4 to accelerate the sustainable development agenda.

This talk is about a research initiative in “Digital Civics” that Prof. Patrick Olivier has been undertaking, firstly at Open Lab, Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, and now at Monash University, Australia.
