The Sustainable Food Systems sub-project of our Global Research Translation Award (GRTA) Project is addressing food and nutrition insecurity in India: a problem confronting a vast majority of women and children, especially in rural, indigenous communities.
Despite economic growth, India has some of the highest levels of food and nutrition insecurity in the world, with close to 40% of children under 5 stunted, and over 50% of women anaemic. There is an urgent need to upscale successful local innovations and best practices to address these issues.
