Saskia de Pee, Senior Nutrition Advisor at the World Food Programme (WFP), presents how advanced analytics can guide country-specific pathways for transforming food systems toward healthier diets that are affordable, climate-resilient, and environmentally sustainable. Drawing from insights across South Asia, she illustrates how tools like WFP’s Enhance platform can unpack the complex trade-offs between nutrition goals and environmental impacts. Using real-world data from Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, Saskia shows how affordability remains a significant barrier, and how context-specific solutions are needed to navigate the balance between diet diversity, greenhouse gas emissions, and cost. Her presentation highlights the critical role of data-driven, user-friendly tools in identifying win-win scenarios and building future-ready food systems.
