ATNi joins the Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge

22 May 2025

ATNi is proud to announce its commitment to the Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge—a global initiative launched during the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) in 2021 to mobilize meaningful private sector investments aimed at ending hunger.

The Pledge is co-organized by a coalition of international organizations, including FAO, GAIN, IFAD, Grow Asia, and others. It draws on key research such as the Ceres2030: Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger report, and provides a clear evidence base for action.

To date, 74 companies have pledged over $642 million across 51 countries, advancing efforts to meet Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger). The initiative directs private sector investments toward 10 proven intervention areas across 90 priority countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Greg S Garrett. Executive Director of ATNi, comments: “The private sector must be part of the solution to end malnutrition. The Zero Hunger Pledge support this aim by encouraging, collecting and monitoring meaningful private sector commitments.  This complements ATNi’s ongoing work to improve the business case for nutrition, transform markets for nutrition and improve private sector accountability and engagement.”

ATNi’s work has long focused on building the business case for nutrition, improving private sector accountability, and transforming markets to support healthier diets. Our recent Paris Declaration on Business and Nutrition, launched during the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit, is a testament to this commitment. The Declaration sets a shared vision for the private sector, governments, investors, and civil society to work together in creating food systems that put nutrition and health at the center.

Joining the Zero Hunger Pledge is a natural extension of ATNi’s mission—because addressing global hunger requires bold, coordinated, and inclusive action across sectors.
