Across the world, poor diets are now the leading cause of non-communicable diseases, yet nutrition remains an underrepresented theme in impact investing. To change this, we need to understand what truly makes an investment nutrition-sensitive and how investors, development partners, and agrifood enterprises align financial returns with better nutrition outcomes.

This session will explore the defining features of investments that intentionally prioritize nutrition outcomes alongside financial returns. It will spotlight real-world examples of investment structures and product profiles that prioritize affordability, accessibility, and quality of nutritious foods.
