SUMMARY:Making value chains work for food and nutrition security
DESCRIPTION:The next Agriculture-Nutrition Community of Practice Webex call is planned for Wednesday\, October 26 from 9:30-10:30 AM Eastern US time. The topic is “Making value chains work for food and nutrition security” and colleagues at CIAT will present on their work.  \nMaking value chains work for food and nutrition security\nSpeaker: Matthias Jäger\, Markets and Value Chain Expert\, International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) / CGIAR. \nDescription:  Matthias will present findings from a pilot project in Kenya and Uganda\, aimed at improving the diets of vulnerable rural and urban consumers through increased consumption of more affordable\, diverse\, safe\, and nutrient-dense processed bean-based food products\, sourced from local farmer organizations and delivered by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This project uses a value chain for nutrition (VCN) approach\, an innovative strategy that addresses nutrition problems by identifying opportunities where chain actors benefit from the marketing of agricultural products with higher nutritional value\, focusing on those value chains that are most relevant to the poor\, specifically women of reproductive age and children. \nYou can register to participate by following this link. \n  \n
