• The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) enshrine the dual targets of ending malnutrition in all its forms and ensuring access to nutritious food for all people by 2030 as major global priorities.8 These goals reinforce human rights to adequate food, nutrition, and health,9,10 and build on the growing momentum for ending hunger and malnutrition.11,12 Going forward, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016–2025) seeks to accelerate action to achieve these goals. The economic, social, and environmental costs of inaction will hinder the growth and development of individuals and societies for decades to come.4–7,13,14 As this new Series shows, the complex interconnected biological and social pathways of all forms of malnutrition are difficult to disrupt through siloed interventions and require societal shifts that can be scaled up and sustained over decades.4–7 Prevention of malnutrition, especially in the first 1000 days, has lifelong health and economic benefits.15 For food systems to deliver healthy, safe, affordable, and sustainable diets for all, we must address the underlying drivers that incentivise endless market and consumption growth over human and planetary health.16,17 Meaningful change will require action across food systems—from production and processing, through trade and distribution, pricing, marketing, and labelling, to consumption and waste—driven from the bottom up by communities, cities, regions, and nations. Stakeholder groups Role and responsibility Governments Prioritise solving the problem; regulate to set standards and their enforcement; implement policies that are equitable, inclusive, and financed; collect and use data to inform action; and mobilise public investments UN Convene and connect actors; demonstrate cost-effective solutions; monitor implementation of commitments and achievement of targets Civil society Advocate, organise, mobilise people; monitor commitments; and create a generation of activists Academia Generate a diverse evidence base; build capacity and conduct research to solve problems, create sustainable solutions, and promote interdisciplinary systems thinking and research Media Inform public opinion, tell stories, create debate; facilitate demand for public accountability; focus on structural drivers not individuals and avoid stigma Philanthropy and multi/bilaterals Foster innovation; embrace complexity; fund systems-based problem solving; and convene stakeholders Private sector Commit to responsible business by production and distribution of affordable nutritious foods; prioritise population health and wellness agenda over profits; consent to appropriate conduct by removal of undue influence on relevant policy and research; and abide by national and international marketing and other codes and regulations Regional economic platforms Reshape trade and investment policies in line with public health policies and protect policy space for nutrition Table Roles and responsibilities of stakeholder groups who must create the systemic changes needed to end malnutrition
