Bolivian President Evo Morales to speak at G77-led ‘Dialogue on Nutrition’ ‘Communicating to Inspire Change’ event at FAO, 30 October The numbers on malnutrition are startling. Today, two billion people suffer from one or more micronutrient deficiencies. Over one billion are overweight. Twenty six percent
of the world's children under five are stunted due to poor diet. Why? What approaches are being successfully used to tackle the problem? What more needs to be done? These questions will be at the center of the debate at a G77-led roundtable
event at FAO on Thursday, 30 October 2014. The G77
‘Dialogue on Nutrition’ takes place in the lead up to the International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) set for late November in Rome.
Evo Morales Ayma, Current Chair of the Group of 77 and President of the Plurinational State
of Bolivia, and FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva will open the event.
Media accreditation will be at the main FAO visitor’s entrance. A valid press card or letter
