Biofortification (or nutrient enrichment) of staple crops has the potential to contribute to reducing micronutrient deficiencies by increasing micronutrient intakes.

Using a theory of change (TOC; a simplified definition of how and why an intervention is expected to work) or a programme impact pathway (PIP; a more detailed description of the causal pathways through which an intervention is delivered) to guide

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies affect over one quarter of the world’s population.

Background: Vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa.

In its 5th year of Phase I, A4NH has validated its core areas of research, taking many to scale while also broadening its Phase II portfolio

Analysis of market segments within a population remains critical to agricultural systems and policy processes for targeting new innovations.

Governments, businesses, and civil society groups increasingly realize the important need of supporting food systems to produce and supply diverse, nutritious, and safe foods for healthy lives.

Micronutrient deficiency affects approximately 2 billion people globally and is caused by poor-quality diets resulting in low intakes of key micronutrients.

In its fourth year, the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) has many accomplishments to be proud of and much to look forward to.

In recent times, results of various adoption studies have been mixed, raising questions regarding why some improved farm technologies are still not widely adopted several years after their first introduction.

Biofortified pro-vitamin A cassava varieties are being developed and deployed in Nigeria and other countries.

HarvestPlus improves nutrition and public health in Nigeria by promoting cassava that provides more vitamin A in the diet. We work with almost 40 partners drawn from government, business, and civil society.

The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) completed a successful third full year in 2014, with demonstrated progress in a number of areas.
