Sustainable Development Depends on Better Nutrition for All Nations

by Dr. Lawrence Haddad & Dr. David Nabarro

From cold chains and blockchains – major technological revolutions are on the brink of transforming food systems. While cold chain technology can prevent losses as food travels from farm to market, blockchain technology can help digitally and accurately relay vast amounts of data between networks of farmers, traders and vendors. All this can help reduce transaction costs, reduce financial barriers to accessing markets and build trust in the provenance of food, from farm, forest and ocean to fork.
