Food security

One of the issues the Ag2Nut community has discussed is the need to make diverse, nutritious foods more available and accessible. Within an overall agenda of sustainable development, increased nutritious food production needs to align with environmental sustainability, economic viability and social equity.

Understanding local contexts is critical to designing and implementing effective approaches to improve nutrition through agricultural programs. While many tools have been developed to help implementers with context assessment, knowing which tool is most appropriate for particular aspects of programming can be a challenge.
