"Together, the leaders underscored that food securityand nutrition are a top priority for the G20 and endorse the G20 Food Security & Nutrition Framework of 2014. We encourage global leaders, in developing their policy options and strategies, to ensure adequate nutrition is a prerequisite for human resource and community development, productivity and growth."
