In this episode of "The Work We Do," Lynnette Neufeld, Director of FAO’s Food and Nutrition Division, discusses the complex realities of global nutrition challenges. The conversation explores the double burden of malnutrition, where undernutrition and obesity coexist, the higher cost of healthy diets, and difficulties in advancing nutrition policies amid conflicting interests and commercial pressures.

Lynnette reflects on her experience with Mexico’s landmark conditional cash transfer program and her path to becoming a senior leader. She outlines FAO’s vision to shift focus from simply feeding the world to enabling access to and consumption of healthy diets for all.
