sustainability

Nutrition sits at the center of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) because of its multisectoral nature and multidimensional contribution. In addition to achieving “Zero Hunger” (SDG2), improvements in nutrition are critical to both achieve and reap the benefits of all the 17 SDGs. Good nutrition comes with improved health and wellbeing (SDG3), enhanced educational and work productivity (SDGs 4 and 8), less poverty (SDG1), and reduced inequalities (SDGs 5 and 10). On the other hand, improved food security and nutrition will result in stronger and more sustainable environment, communities, and technologies (SDGs 6, 7, 9, 11–17). This Evidence Research Topic, Nutrition and sustainable development goal 4: quality education, is part of an innovative collection showcasing nutrition in the context of the SDGs. The Research Topic provides up-to-date evidence on the role and impact of nutrition in relation to educational outcomes, as well as a selection of activities that have been utilized to promote education and capacity building for youth and health workers.
