Following the inaugural Rome Nutrition Week in 2024 and building on the 2025 focus on coherent policy and action for better nutrition, Rome Nutrition Week 2026 (RNW26) will take collaboration one step further: from dialogue to more coordinated, actionable solutions.
Held from 25–28 May 2026 at FAO Headquarters and online under the overarching theme “Shaping the Future of Joint Nutrition Action in a Changing World,” the 2026 edition will focus on strengthening joint approaches, enhancing coordination, and identifying practical pathways to accelerate nutrition progress in a rapidly evolving global context. With millions still unable to afford a healthy diet and nutrition crises persisting alongside food insecurity, working together more effectively across sectors, institutions and levels of governance is more critical than ever.
Rome Nutrition Week 2026 will provide a platform for collaborative events, convenings and conversation, bringing together governments, UN agencies, civil society, academia, and other stakeholders to accelerate collective nutrition action.
Rome Nutrition Week 2026 serves as a global platform to:
- Strengthen joint approaches across institutions and sectors
- Align evidence, finance and delivery around country priorities
- Keep nutrition central to agrifood systems transformation
- Support progress towards the extended UN Decade of Action on Nutrition and global nutrition targets to 2030
