The 4th International Congress Hidden Hunger, entitled “Hidden Hunger and the Transformation of Food Systems: How to Combat the Double Burden of Malnutrition?” was held from February 27 to March 1, 2019, in Stuttgart. The global meeting of members belonging to the scientific community, representatives from politics, government, and the media, as well as members of civil society organizations, advocacy groups, and private and public sector bodies, was organized by the University of Hohenheim together with the Society of Nutrition and Food Science (SNFS). The main sponsor of the congress was the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. It was chaired by Hans K. Biesalski, Former Head of the Institute of Biological Chemistry and Nutrition and Former Director of the Food Security Center (FSC) at the University of Hohenheim, as well as Regina Birner, Chair of Social and Institutional Change in Agricultural Development, Institute of Agricultural Sciences in the Tropics at the University of Hohenheim.
The contributions of the 2nd [1] and 3rd Congress [2] have already been published in the series “World Review of Nutrition and Dietetics.” Now the results of the 4th Congress are available. The speakers were asked to submit their topic in the form of a scientific publication, as was done in the previous volumes. This is therefore not a proceedings volume and the authors are very much appreciated for having written new and highly relevant articles on the congress topic. Karger Publishers, and especially Mrs. Yvonne Rebmann, deserve great thanks for their excellent support.
The 4th Congress Hidden Hunger was a continuation of the successful, international event series “Congress Hidden Hunger,” which started in 2013. At the 1st Congress Hidden Hunger the causes and consequences of hidden hunger as well as possible solutions were discussed. The 2nd Congress Hidden Hunger, which was hosted in 2015, addressed the specific problem of hidden hunger during pregnancy and the first years of life. Associated, serious consequences for child development and the increased risk for maternal mortality were also discussed. The considerable and continuous feedback following the first two congresses convinced the organizers to host the 3rd Congress Hidden Hunger in 2017 on the topic “Post-2015 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals: Where Are We now? Strategies to Improve Nutrition Quality and Combat Hidden Hunger.”
At the 4th Congress Hidden Hunger in March 2019, the topic of hidden hunger with reference to the worldwide problem of overweight as well as the global
