Paris Declaration on Business & Nutrition 2030

The Paris Declaration on Business & Nutrition 2030 establishes a shared vision on transforming food systems by 2030, placing nutrition and health at the forefront. It provides a clear roadmap for private sector, governments, investors, civil society, and international organizations to create a healthier and more sustainable “nutrition economy”.

Why then need for a stronger nutrition economy? Today's food system is shaped by business incentives, subsidies, and investment flows that prioritize profit over health.

The result? A food system where nearly half of adults are overweight or obese, non-communicable diseases are rising rapidly; more than two billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies and levels of child undernutrition remain unacceptably high, affecting close to a quarter of children under five globally.

The Paris Declaration on Business & Nutrition 2030 outlines a way forward, realigning business incentives and investment flows guided by progressive policies and accountability frameworks which together strengthen the nutrition economy.  

This Declaration summarizes months of multistakeholder discussions and the outcomes of The Private Sector and Nutrition: Everyone’s Business event on March 26, 2025, during the Paris N4G Summit week. It was initiated by the N4G Private Sector Working Group co-facilitators: ATNi, GAIN, and the Paris Peace Forum.

The Declaration

The Paris Declaration on Business & Nutrition 2030 sets a shared vision of an improved “Nutrition Economy”, setting a 2030 roadmap to transform food systems for better nutrition. 

Priority Actions

The urgency to transform food systems is clear, and all actors must play a role. As a global community committed to responsible and impactful business action for nutrition, we call for:

• Governments must implement and enforce policies that create a level playing field, creating an enabling environment for healthy food production and using progressive policies to support actors across the value chain to support nutrition outcomes.
• Governments and public finance institutions must channel public resources to incentivise the production, distribution and marketing of healthier foods that meet the nutritional needs of the population
• Investors and Financial Institutions must scale up concessional lending and private funds to drive healthier diet outcomes.
• Institutional Investors must demand change by calling for nutrition to be embedded into sustainability reporting and ESG investing practices.
• Private Sector (including food and beverage companies, retailers, agribusinesses) must take responsibility for reformulating products, improving affordability and accessibility of nutritious options, and shift marketing strategies away from unhealthy foods—particularly those targeting children and vulnerable populations.
• International Organizations and Civil Society must align on clear private sector engagement frameworks that define roles, responsibilities, and expected outcomes in multistakeholder processes and platforms.
• All stakeholders must mobilize commitments from all stakeholders to enable business transparency and accountability, and to deliver measurable and meaningful 2030 nutrition results.

A strengthened nutrition economy will deliver impact at three levels:

• Systems-level: Markets enable access to nutritious, affordable, and sustainable diets for all;
• Population-level: Reduced prevalence of diet-related diseases and improved health outcomes for all, especially among at-risk populations;
• Product-level: Companies’ food sales are increasingly derived from sustainably produced products that contribute to healthier and sustainable diets.
