Nutrients for All Globalizer Summit

June 3, 2013

The "Nutrients for All Globalizer Summit - Connecting Social Entrepreneurial Innovations Along the Nutrient Value Chain" took place from June 3 to 4 in Frankfurt at the KfW. Around the world, in developed and developing countries alike, neither people, food nor land are being fully nourished. As a result, people's chances of physical and cognitive health are decreasing. Worker capacity is reduced. Food and farming systems are at risk. Forest, grasslands, watersheds and soils are deteriorating. In short - the world's nutrient supply chain is broken, with alarming consequences. To address this challenge the development bank KfW convened leading social entrepreneurs who innovate along the different stages of the Nutrient Value Chain (Agriculture & Ecosystems / Food Processing & Distribution / Health & Vitality), selected business leaders across the agriculture, food and health industries, entrepreneurial policy makers and non-profit leaders. It highlighted and provided insights into exciting innovations in these different fields and open opportunities for participants to co-create initiatives to full nourishment.
Konrad Biesalki, as the author of the book "The Hidden Hunger" participated in the public panel discussion on "Fighting the Hidden Hunger – Entrepreneurial and Social Innovations to Overcome Malnutrition". For the detailed program please click HERE.
