Food and Nutrition Security
Helping households grow more, lose less, and eat better - so the harvest actually reaches the plate.
Smallholder yields and household nutrition are undermined by weak agronomic practice, poor storage, and feeding gaps at critical life stages. VEDCO closes these gaps at every step of the food chain.
This focus area improves household food availability, dietary diversity, and nutrition outcomes by strengthening the full food chain: production, storage, preparation, and household feeding decisions.
What this includes
- Better growing practicesPromoting and supporting adoption of Good Agronomic Practices (GAPs) across crop and livestock production.
- Less post-harvest lossStrengthening household-level food storage through better handling and loss-reduction technologies.
- Smarter feedingImproving feeding practices for children, women of reproductive age, and people living with chronic illness.
