HarvestPlus Solutions is delighted to announce a groundbreaking strategic collaboration with Bayer AG aimed at scaling impactful agricultural innovations to address nutritional challenges in Africa and Asia. The collaboration reflects a shared dedication to advancing food and nutrition security, and to working closely with national agencies and on-the-ground stakeholders to create meaningful, locally relevant solutions with the potential to deliver significant positive impacts in vulnerable communities. This global collaboration will seek to accomplish three distinct goals: advance dietary diversity and nutrition by increasing the availability of vitamin C-rich vegetables among participating farming families; contribute to improving nutrition and overall well-being of school children; and provide training to women farmers on Nutrition Smart Agriculture and sustainable agricultural practices. Ultimately, this initiative aims to improve nutrition outcomes, foster community resilience, and deliver long-term health benefits.
