Scaling Impact, Enriching Lives
Millions of people in rural communities rely on smallholder farmers for their daily food. By naturally enriching these crops with essential minerals and vitamins, we create healthier options for households and local markets in the Global South.
In 2024, the region continued to face compounding challenges, including conflict, economic shocks, forced displacement, and climate extremes, which exacerbated food and nutrition insecurity, making it harder for communities to thrive. In a world where 3 billion people can’t afford a healthy diet, our work drives meaningful change by delivering nutritious, affordable foods to over 360 million people in the Global South, transforming food systems for a healthier future.
This report highlights how nutrient-enriched crops are being integrated into food systems through partnerships with public, private, and civil society organizations.
