The Nourishing Futures Network brings together an international group to lead knowledge exchange and generation on issues of food security during preconception, pregnancy, and early life.

The aim of the network is to share knowledge and expertise, create a platform for collaboration, bring together research and evidence, policy and practice, voluntary sector, and those with lived experience on issues of food insecurity and the crucial period of preconception, pregnancy, and early life. By working together, we aim to generate change, to improve life course heath for women and their families.

Our current areas of interested are in exploring the different and important components of maternal and child food insecurity during this vital life course stage including:

• a clinical and mechanistic perspective on the maternal and child life course health impacts of food insecurity

• a societal and public health perspective on intersectional inequalities driving food insecurity

• a policy and practice perspective on interdisciplinary and multi-sector strategies to mitigate and respond to food insecurity.
