Stuart Gillespie

Chapter 7 in 2013 Global Food Policy Report, 2014, pp 75-86 from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Abstract: One of the biggest advances in the field of nutrition in 2013 was a growing consensus on the need to cultivate, strengthen, and sustain enabling environments to support nutrition-related actions. This chapter examines how policy, power, politics, and people come together in a multisectoral context to influence the creation of these critical environments.
