The International Congress of Nutrition (ICN3) will take place in Paris, 24-29 August 2025 with the theme ‘Sustainable Food for Global Health’. https://iuns.org/2024/05/international-congress-of-nutrition-2025/. This topic has been addressed by IBFAN-GIFA since many years and GIFA participated in the World Public Health and Nutrition Congress in London (June 2024). Our contribution is available as 8-minute video on the dedicated Greenfeeding page.

IBFAN-GIFA has been involved since 2013 as an active member of civil society in preparatory processes leading up to the International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) which takes place in November 2014. In order to ensure that breastfeeding protection promotion and support has its rightful place in the ICN2 outcome documents, IBFAN asked the WABA World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action secretariat to prepare a supportive statement. Please see attached statement by WABA , also supported by all of WABA’s members.

The Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) was a high-level intergovernmental meeting that focused global attention on addressing malnutrition in all its forms. More information here: https://www.fao.org/about/meetings/icn2/en/
