No 10, 2020 conference briefs from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Abstract: Healthy and active lives for all require adequate access to food, care, employment, health services, and a healthy environment.

The most efficient policy approach involves, accordingly, a coordinated effort across the various public sector ministries and agencies concerned. However, most governments and government agencies are organized in a way that makes coordination across sectors difficult to achieve
