As we all know, nutrition-smart agriculture is a food-based approach to agricultural development that prioritizes the availability and accessibility of nutrition-rich foods as a means of overcoming malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. It focuses not only on improving human nutritional status, but also on achieving the agribusiness-level goal of increasing farmer and rural community productivity, income, and profits.
Inclusion of nutrient-enriched crops is considered a nutrition-smart agriculture approach, taking into account the role of bio-fortified seeds, whose nutritional quality has been improved through agronomic practises, conventional plant breeding, or modern biotechnology. Bio-fortified crops were only adopted when they became as productive and resistant to pests and diseases as regular varieties, and when they satisfied consumer tastes and other preferences.
Objectives of Webinar:
-
Discuss the trends and key aspects involved in promoting nutrition smart agriculture
-
Discuss appropriate linkages between nutrition, agriculture, income pathways in building resilient food systems
-
Discuss relevant approaches such as the integration of nutrient-enriched crops as a strategy to alleviate malnutrition and poverty in low-income households
