Frontier technologies and their use across the nutrition data value chain

Novel technologies are advancing all the time and show tremendous promise in allowing us to better address malnutrition. This session will illustrate four novel uses of technology across the value chain spanning from preventative approaches upstream, to real-time monitoring of nutrition programmes, to diagnostic solutions downstream.
