GAIN, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, é uma fundação suportada por um conjunto de empresas químicas e alimentares cujas actividades são vocacionadas para a luta contra a subnutrição.

“Malnutrition is a global issue that affects billions. It means undernutrition, or a lack of the necessary energy, protein or micronutrients in developing countries, and overnutrition and obesity, or too much energy, fats or specific micronutrients in developed countries and, increasingly, in developing countries. Malnutrition accounts for 11 percent of the global burden of disease. Each year it kills 3.5 million children under five years old and impairs hundreds of thousands of growing minds. Countries may lose two to three percent of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a result of iron, iodine, and zinc deficiencies. Read the key facts”
