Not everyone has access to a healthy diet. Many people from different countries suffer from malnutrition. According to reports by the United Nations, food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition pose a high risk to health. Researchers estimate that by 2050, the number of people suffering from malnutrition will have surpassed two billion. Food insecurity is more rampant during disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, conflicts, and hurricanes. Additionally, it results in obesity and weight gain.
Malnutrition is a global pandemic that comprises three different problems, namely micronutrient deficiency, obesity, and malnutrition. Statistics show that one in three people are undernourished. Global hunger and malnutrition are major challenges that different countries across the globe face. That said, here is how Herbalife Nutrition is working to fight these issues.
Through Initiatives
Herbalife Nutrition, through an initiative dubbed “Nutrition for Zero Hunger,” is committed to saving lives by fighting global hunger and increasing access to healthy and nutritious food for affected populations around the world. Additionally, the initiative concurs with the United Nations’ sustainable development goals: a call for zero hunger and an end to all forms of malnutrition by 2030. It also provides food through its Emergency Relief Fund.
Global Partnerships
Through partnerships with different organizations, Herbalife has managed to reduce global hunger and malnutrition to some extent. The firm only partners with organizations that focus on addressing food insecurity, malnutrition, and hunger. For instance, they have partnered with Feed the Children, which aims to eradicate hunger among children. Additionally, this nonprofit organization provides food assistance and other resources to struggling families and communities. In 2018, the organization distributed food and other essentials to more ban 6 million people from all over the world.
Through Product Donations
Herbalife Nutrition is a global leader when it comes to nutrition and food security, using science to produce nutrient-dense products. Nutrient density is an essential factor when choosing a healthy diet. They then donate the said products to hunger-stricken countries.
Nutrition Expertise
Herbalife Nutrition uses its nutrition expertise to provide high-quality products that are available in more than 90 countries across the globe. They have more than 300 scientists, nutritionists, and researchers whose main aim is to ensure that nutrition products are of high quality. The firm works closely with experienced farmers and suppliers to ensure that they use the best ingredients. They also test their products before realizing them to the public.
Global Volunteering Efforts
Herbalife Nutrition is in a better position to help those who need help. It can use its employees, distributors, and its customers to eradicate global hunger and malnutrition. In 2019, through an event known as the global month of purpose, Herbalife Nutrition spent more than 11,000 hours helping local communities.
Educating Communities About Nutrition
Educating communities on the importance of consuming a nutritious and healthy diet can significantly help eradicate malnutrition and hunger. Lots of confusing information about nutrition exists, which is why Herbalife Nutrition works with experienced personnel who offer useful nutrition education to affected communities.
Raising Awareness
Another way for Herbalife Nutrition to eradicate global hunger and nutrition is through awareness. It uses nonprofit organizations, thought leaders, experts, media, and the general public to campaign against malnutrition. Their main aim is to reach and convince as many people as possible to support their initiatives.
