Check out the latest features on our K&I Hub Resources page, including highlights from this week’s Compact2025 News in Brief:

  • One third of the global population could suffer from obesity or overweight by 2030 if policymakers do not take action to improve diet quality, according to a new report from the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition.
  • The latest Lancet series on Advancing Early Childhood Development highlights the low cost gains that could be made to improve child development during the critical first years of life by combining interventions for health, nutrition, responsive caregiving, and early learning with existing services.
  • Proposed mergers of a number of seed and agrochemical companies face scrutiny as they could control 60 percent of the world’s seed supply and 70 percent of its agricultural chemicals, if approved.
  • UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appointed 29 global leaders to support the fight against malnutrition, championing country-led efforts to scale up nutrition.
