UNICEF
This edition of "The State of the World's Children" report examines children, food and nutrition. It seeks to deepen understanding around the causes and consequences of children's malnutrition in all its forms and to highlight how governments, business, families and other stakeholders can best respond. Chapter 1 examines the changing face of children's malnutrition. Chapter 2 investigates malnutrition across the life of the child, from development in the womb to the point where a young person is entering adulthood. Chapter 3 explores malnutrition in a changing world. Chapter 4 examines the current state of responses to children's malnutrition, including the increased attention -- at the global and national level -- to the importance of addressing malnutrition across multiple systems, with particular emphasis on the food system in synergy with the health, water and sanitation, education and social protection systems, and on how different stakeholders are responding. Finally, Chapter 5 sets out an agenda to put children's nutrition rights first. A Perspectives section includes: (1) Upholding a child's right to food and nutrition (Hilal Elver); (2) Why is addressing children's nutrition important for a country's broader economic development? (Sania Nishtar); (3) Women lead the way in community-based child nutrition in rural Tanzania (Scholastica Nguli); (4) Sesame Workshop's Raya teaches children healthy habits (Sherrie Westin and Raya); (5) The food industry must accelerate action to tackle the global nutrition crisis (Inge Kauer); (6) Grassroots activism in Mexico battles childhood obesity (Alejandro Calvillo Unna); and (7) Working together to deliver healthy people and a healthy planet (Peter Bakker).
