Measure food systems progress not only by productivity but also ability to deliver healthy diets – AGRA

Drawing on lessons from discussions at the recently concluded Africa Food Systems Forum, the AGRA official called for the development of resilient, nutritious seeds, enhanced trade to move nutritious foods across borders, better management of post-harvest losses, and more financing for nutrition projects.

Speaking at the Micronutrient Forum’s 7th Global Conference in Accra, Ghana, he said, “At AGRA, we no longer see nutrition as the end of the food systems story.

He called on stakeholders to invest in micronutrient resilience as much as they invest in climate resilience, to help ensure that every African child, every woman, and every family can get the nutrition they need to thrive, whatever the weather brings.
