The International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) will be held at the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) headquarters in Rome, between November 19 and 21. ICN2 aims to create consensus on addressing major nutrition challenges — including under-nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight — with a view to achieving global nutrition targets by 2025 set by the World Health Assembly, according to the WHO, joint organiser with FAO.
The upcoming meet also seeks to achieve coherence between food supply and public health policies, as both contribute to food and nutrition security.
