The ARCH research team is proud to present our recent findings from around the world at this year’s International Congress of Nutrition from Oct 15-20 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This international conference, which takes place every four years, brings top researchers and academics together to share their latest work. This year’s theme reflects our commitment to generating evidence to inform infant and young child feeding policies: “From Sciences to Nutrition Security”.
ARCH speakers will participate in the following sessions, sharing results and lessons learned from our research and policy work around child nutrition. We invite all colleagues and friends at the conference to attend. Follow us on Twitter @ARCH_Nutrition for live updates and insights throughout the week.
