Food Security and Nutrition

We work to ensure that communities have sustainable access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. Our programs support sustainable agriculture, nutrition education, value chain development, and food systems strengthening. We address both immediate food needs and long-term food security through integrated approaches that build community resilience and promote healthy nutrition practices.
