New Delhi: IIMSAM, or the Intergovernmental Institution for the Use of Micro-Algae Spirulina Against Malnutrition – an observer organisation to the United Nations – is exploring greater cooperation with the Indian govt and stakeholders in the country to advance nutrition security through scientifically evaluated spirulina-based initiatives.
IIMSAM advocates examining spirulina as a potential contributor to Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), which aims to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
If the international community is serious about achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, nutrition must be central to development planning,” Ayoob said. IIMSAM has spearheaded the integration of nutrient-rich spirulina to combat malnutrition and food insecurity; and the organisation’s work extends across the world in promoting However, IIMSAM also recognise that spirulina is not a standalone solution; its potential benefits must be assessed in conjunction with dietary diversity, access to balanced food, public health interventions and established nutrition programmes. Ayoob further emphasised that any proposed initiatives must be guided by scientific evidence, food safety standards, nutritional suitability and measurable outcomes, particularly for vulnerable communities. “Malnutrition is not merely a food-related issue; it impacts health, childhood development, education, productivity and the long-term resilience of communities. Beyond its nutritional applications, the organisation seeks to explore the connections between spirulina cultivation, sustainable food systems, community participation, farmer livelihoods and humanitarian action.
