Food Systems Transformation Strategies as Nutrition Specific Interventions
Food systems transformation has emerged as one of the key nutrition-specific interventions implemented by governments, institutions, and organizations across Africa and globally. The aim is to ensure that the nutrition status of populations is restored and maintained at optimal levels. As an advocate for food systems transformation, it is important to understand that a food system is not limited to agriculture alone it covers the entire pathway from food production to the moment food is consumed in the household.
To achieve better nutrition outcomes, several strategies have been introduced across the different components of the food system. These strategies aim to make food more available, accessible, affordable, safe, diverse, and nutritious for all people. They also ensure that food is produced in a way that is resilient, sustainable, and responsive to the challenges faced by communities.
