DFAT is asking for ideas for improving global health outcomes through better nutrition.
DFAT's InnovationXchange and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have partnered to launch an innovation challenge LAUNCH Food, which will address issues stemming from globalisation of the world’s food supply.
The organisations are concerned about the high levels of impaired development, non-communicable diseases, and avoidable deaths rising out of under-nutrition and over-nutrition in lower-income countries.
The challenge will give participants the opportunity to have their proposals reviewed by a network of industry pioneers, government organisations, investors and innovation experts.
Winning innovations will be funded through the platform.
Submissions for LAUNCH Food are due on 16 November.
