Nutrition is one of the best levers for unlocking unprecedented economic growth.
Currently, malnutrition (from undernourishment to obesity) costs the world about $3.5 trillion annually, or ~4–5% of world GDP. Undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies impair workforce productivity, while obesity drives up health expenditures – together causing GDP losses of up to 11% in Africa and Asia.
