Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture and Food Systems in Practice

Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture and Food Systems in Practice Synopsis

Despite growing political commitment and targeted development investments, the development of nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food systems is hampered by a lack of programme design capacity and operational tools.

This publication offers a range of food system-based intervention options with high potential to improve nutrition, together with concrete entry points for maximizing the impact of each of these interventions. It is part of a broader package of guidance materials, the FAO Toolkit for nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food systems. The book will serve as a key resource for professionals across different areas: from breeding to production; from food transformation and packaging to transportation and trade; from marketing and value chain to food safety; and from food labelling to consumer education.
