Data-informed nutrition policy and practices Wed, Feb 17, 2021 12:00 PM An episode of the GeoTech Hour where panelists discuss challenges and opportunities for data-informed nutrition solutions, and how a multisectoral approach can improve global health. Event description Across the world, one in five deaths are currently associated with poor diet, which contributes to a variety of chronic and deadly diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Population level interventions that are evidence-based are crucial to lowering this burden, and can be made even more effective through innovative public-private partnerships. Solutions can include adopting current methods that incentivize environmental and social impacts of a company or group, such as the ESG criteria, which can benefit from an additional factor that includes the impact of that group on human health.
