The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) is hosting a brownbag discussion series on our program to participants from our lead center, IFPRI. The series will cover topics about our research portfolio, how we engage with partners, and areas for scaling up research. This presentation introduces the basics of A4NH and answers our most commonly-asked-questions.

1. A Taste of A4NH

3. Improved Nutrition and Health
Improved diet quality
Reduced exposure to ag- associated diseases
Empowerment of women and poor communities
Better cross-sector policies, programs, and investments

3.Coordination, convening and critical mass
Good example of Biofortification
Actively support PHND programs and policieswith new partnerships
Regional and country engagement
Food Safety Perishables /Aflatoxin–biology / economics
Value chains / food systems –ASF, pulses, vegetables
Local Food Systems / Nutrition Sensitive Landscape
