nutrition-sensitive agriculture

Nutrition-sensitive agriculture refers to farming practices designed to improve the availability, quality, and diversity of nutritious foods, thereby supporting better health. It involves growing a variety of nutrient-rich crops, raising healthy livestock, and implementing farming methods that enhance food quality and accessibility. The goal is to address malnutrition and promote well-being by aligning agriculture with nutritional needs, ensuring communities have reliable access to foods that support growth, development, and overall health. This approach recognizes that agriculture can play a key role in improving nutrition beyond merely providing calories.
