Improve food availability and dietary diversity
Our commitment: Improve food availability and dietary diversity among the farmers who supply us
Tackling nutrition insecurity in our farming communities
Our analysis shows that as many as 70% of farming families in some countries can be short of food for up to three months. Our Rural Development Framework (RDF) baselines found many have diets that lack diversity and are especially poor in protein and nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, dairy and fruit. By addressing these challenges, we can help farmers and their families live healthy lives and achieve their potential.
