Improving nutrition and promoting healthy diets through food systems and agriculture policies

Making food and agriculture systems more nutrition-sensitive requires action by stakeholders involved at all stages of the food systems, from primary production up to consumer level, including policy-makers. Integrated agriculture-nutrition programming is gaining increasing attention in the international development community, while there is growing interest in identifying ways in which the food and agriculture sectors can contribute to improved food consumption and nutrition. In order to scale up efforts to develop capacities for nutrition sensitive food systems, the project aims to develop a holistic approach targeting a wide range of stakeholders. The main focus of the project is on strengthening individual capacities, with these efforts to be accompanied by advocacy at organizational and policy level, together with partnerships with national, regional and global institutions, in order to ensure an enabling environment within the countries.
