HarvestPlus and its partners fight hidden hunger worldwide by scaling staple food crops that are bred to be rich in essential vitamins and minerals. As a result of these efforts, over 115 million people in farming households are eating biofortified crops.
These biofortified, climate-smart crops sustainably improve the health and livelihoods of smallholder farming households and low-income consumers. Working across CGIAR as part of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), we are helping to make food systems more nutritious and resilient to shocks.
Delivery and Scaling Now Led by HarvestPlus Solutions
HarvestPlus Solutions is our global partner dedicated to delivering and scaling HarvestPlus, CGIAR, and other innovations that can transform food systems into more resilient and nutritious.
