Background: Food Security Food and nutrition security  most pressing challenge in SSA “Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life” (FAO 2003).

Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Scale-N focusses on the improvement of the food situation of rural poors in Tanzania by nutrition-sensitive agricultures. Nutrition-sensitive activities within the value chain approach will be set up in all nutrition chain components such as: Natural Resources and Production Diversified production Higher nutrition quality (nutrient-content of plant food) Production of fruits and vegetables Local varieties / African indigenous vegetables Processing Nutrition sensitive processing Avoid post-harvest losses (quality and quantity) Food Saftey Markets Assess purchasing activities of nutrient-dense foods Available food baskets within seasons Consumption Nutrition education to enhance awareness of intake-patterns and household processing techniques Change in dietary intake (higher quality, more diversified) 17.11.2018

Definition Nutrition sensitive agriculture or practice/activity is agriculture or any practice/activity that when done in food value chains it enhances nutritional and/or economic value that ultimately enables equitable access to adequate, safe and nutritious food for active and healthy human life throughout a year (stability). 17.11.2018
