It is time for nutrition to be placed higher on the development agenda.The Nestlé Nutrition Institute 78th NNI workshop “International nutrition: achieving millennium goals and beyond” on improving young woman and child nutrition and health was held in Muscat, Oman on the 19-22 of March 2013.Throughout the three-day workshop KOLs participated in discussions on the nutritional scenarios around the world and saw evidence of field interventions to combat maternal and child under and over nutrition and micronutrient deficiencies.
