ATNi at NFP World Food Day 2025

World Food Day organized by Netherlands Food Partnership  is convening changemakers from government, business, research, and civil society to tackle food systems challenges and forge real solutions. This year’s theme for World Food Day, ‘Partnerships that Feed the Future’, reflects the belief that collaboration across sectors and borders, is essential to ensure long-term food security, healthy ecosystems, and resilient economies.

When: 16 October from10:00 AM – 06:00 PM
Location: Fokker Terminal, The Hague, Netherlands

ATNi is inviting you to attend the following engagements:

1. Session: Rules of Engagement for Constructive Collaboration with the Private Sector for Nutrition

ATNi will host an interactive session, together with GAIN and BoP Inc, exploring how to engage the private sector in ways that promote healthier diets and nutrition outcomes. While private sector involvement is essential—given its dominant role in food production—it’s often complicated by power imbalances, profit motives, and accountability gaps. This session aims to encourage reflection on how and when to engage, what policies are needed to regulate corporate behavior, and how actors like investors and regulators can help steer companies toward healthier portfolios. Join this session to hear real world example of what can work, and reflect on opportunities and challenges of engaging with the private sector around nutrition.

2.  Solving the Global Nutrition Puzzle with the Netherlands Working Group on International Nutrition 

Global nutrition is a puzzle too big for any actor to solve alone. The Netherlands Working Group on International Nutrition (NWGN) brings together the strengths of the Dutch government, businesses, NGOs, knowledge institutions, and consultants to amplify the nutrition impact of Dutch stakeholders working towards the SDGs in low- and middle-income countries. Visit the NWGN booth:  ‘Solving the Global Nutrition Puzzle with NWGN: Piecing it Together through Dutch collaboration for global nutrition’, to take on interactive challenges, discover stories from across the “Dutch Diamond,” and share your perspective on what pieces are still missing. Let’s connect, exchange, and explore solutions for ending all forms of malnutrition.

Babs Ates, Head of Research at ATNi and Co-Chair of NWGN, will be present at the booth.
