Two years ago, researchers from Wageningen University and Research (WUR) began collaborating with Vietnamese colleagues to analyze future food system scenarios in Viet Nam. As part of the CGIAR Research Initiative on Sustainable Healthy Diets through Food Systems Transformation (SHiFT), this research sought to identify important trade-offs that could provide insight for transforming Viet Nam’s food systems. Using a mixed-method
In February 2024, the CGIAR Research Initiative on Sustainable Healthy Diets through Food Systems Transformation (SHiFT) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bangladesh National Nutrition Council (BNNC) of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU) of the Ministry of Food, formalizing their shared commitment to advancing the implementation of food systems transformation for sustainable healthy diets in
