+ Nutritious Crops: Investing in food that transforms lives
+ Nutritious Crops promotes more nutritious foods starting in the fields, integrating science, agriculture, nutrition, and climate resilience to strengthen food security, sustainability, and the livelihoods of vulnerable communities.
In a global context marked by malnutrition, food insecurity, and the growing impact of climate change, the challenge is no longer simply to produce more food, but to produce food that truly provides better nutrition. Today, food systems need solutions that integrate health, sustainability, resilience, and economic development into a single strategy.
In response to these challenges, Biofortifieds is evolving into + Nutritious Crops, a strategy led by the Crops for Nutrition and Health division of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, which is expanding its scope to integrate science, agriculture, and nutrition. This evolution aims to promote crops with improved nutritional profiles and quality, as well as characteristics that enhance their adaptation to climate change, providing concrete solutions to address malnutrition and strengthen food security.
Through Crops + Nutritious, the goal is to improve the quality of life for millions of people, especially in vulnerable communities, by promoting healthier, more resilient, and sustainable food systems. At the same time, this strategy helps strengthen rural livelihoods by promoting agriculture that can respond to current and future food challenges.
