The Big Picture – The World
When Peter launched Nutri Troops, his dream was ambitious: to engage as many children and schools as possible to improve their health, fitness, and nutrition. It’s a noble goal—one that is only part of a much larger vision.
Even in these early stages, Nutri Troops is looking beyond education, inspired by the guidance of Professor Greta Defeyter. While achieving “Good Health and Well-Being” is a significant milestone, it represents just one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Key additional goals:
- End poverty in all its forms everywhere
- End hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture
- Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
- Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
- Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
- Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
- Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all
- Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all
- Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation
- Reduce inequality within and among countries
- Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable
- Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
- Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
- Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development
- Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and biodiversity loss
- Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels
- Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development
Each of these goals will benefit from the intelligent and ethical use of data—data collected in a non-intrusive, unbiased manner not for profit, but to drive positive change. Nutri Troops is dedicated to gathering this data responsibly, ensuring that the next generation, who will inherit these challenges, is empowered to solve them.
At Nutri Troops, we work hard to improve the health and wellbeing of children through fun, active learning. Over the years, our collaborations with thousands of schools have given us deep insights into what teachers and parents need, and how best to support children on their journey to becoming healthy heroes.
