The Ministry of Foreign Affairs organizes a Lunch Meeting on “Flour Power – Fortification for a smarter Future”. Public-Private Partnership “Smarter Futures” will give a presentation, followed by an open discussion. 

Smarter Futures is a public-private-civic partnership that supports similar partnerships of flour millers, governments, vitamin and mineral suppliers, international organizations, and academic institutions to make fortification of wheat flour a reality in Africa. The aim of Smarter Futures is to improve health in Africa through the enrichment of wheat and maize flour with essential vitamins and minerals.

Through Flour fortification, Smarter Futures applies a strategy for addressing vitamin and mineral deficiencies because it delivers essential nutrients through staple foods. It does not require consumers to change their eating or buying habits.

After an introduction by Reina Buijs, Smarter Futures will give a presentation about “Flour Power – Fortification for a Smarter Future”, which will be followed by a discussion.
