Dear Ms. Campeau and the UN Team,

Thank you for the opportunity to give inputs/comments on this draft document.

 

We would like to highlights the points below:

* Diversification and promotion of plant-based sources of foods, particularly fruits and vegetables.

* Currently about 2 billion people suffer from incorrect nutrition or micronutrient deficiency, in order to address this scourge and achieve the SDGs an approach like One Health, in this case One Nutrition is needed, where different stakeholders with different skills are giving contributions, e.g. Agricultural Economists, Soil experts, etc.

* Vertical integration of food production should be discouraged and small producers encouraged to diversify their production.

* The link between nature, culture and diets needs to be further explored and harnessed.

* Nutrition education and training (institutional capacity building) needs to focus on governments and policy makers
