Food security and agriculture
The food we consume is an integral part of the global production and distribution system, influencing our health, the environment, and the economy. At CDC, we focus on the key elements of food security: ensuring access to adequate food supplies, providing nutritious options, and promoting the effective use of nutritional knowledge. We are actively engaged in various facets of food safety, working to prevent foodborne illnesses throughout the global food supply chain. Our commitment extends to fostering sustainable agriculture, which serves as an economic driver, an environmentally responsible practice, and a vital contributor to human health and well-being.
Representing government agencies, international foundations, and industry stakeholders, we help generate evidence to guide best practices across multiple sectors. We leverage our expertise in behavioural responses, environmental science, agriculture, and interconnected markets to lead research initiatives aimed at enhancing all dimensions of the food system. Our efforts range from assisting individuals in making healthier food choices to shaping policies and programs that impact millions. As a global organization, we utilize a worldwide network of strategic partners to create innovative solutions for emerging food markets and tackle crossborder challenges.
