Children, food and nutrition
Growing well in a changing world
Key Messages
At least 1 in 3 children under 5 – or over 200 million – is undernourished or overweight and 1 in 2 suffers from hidden hunger, undermining the capacity of millions of children to grow and develop to their full potential.
The triple burden of malnutrition – undernutrition, hidden hunger and overweight – threatens the survival, growth and development of children, young people, economies and nations.
