In February 2016, SPRING/Mali distributed 11,000 moringa, 2,750 papaya, and 2,750 baobab tree saplings to Farmer Nutrition Schools (FNS) beneficiaries. Each FNS beneficiary received two moringa saplings, and one papaya or baobab sampling. The saplings were acquired from local vendors and FNS leaders worked to distribute the saplings across 100 villages.
SPRING is reaching over 5,500 local farmers in the Mopti region of Mali with nutrition-sensitive agriculture education through Farmer Nutrition School (FNS) trainings. The trainings use the experiential, plot-based training methodology applied in farmer field schools (FFS) to encourage gardening of nutrient-rich horticulture. The trainings also include social behavior change communication (SBCC) to promote the uptake of nutrition-specific behaviors taken from the essential nutrition and hygiene actions (ENA/EHA) curriculum and nutrition-sensitive agricultural practices.
