DescBuddhist Global relief works with longtime partner Action Against Hunger to address the underlying causes of malnutrition among children in 35 villages in Mpwapwa District of the Dodoma Region by increasing the production of nutrient-rich crops and the consumption of these foods to improve dietary diversification. The project will train 1,800 small-holder women farmers in climate-smart agriculture, post-harvest management, and food preservation. To increase productivity levels sustainably, the project will promote appropriate technologies, including soil and water conservation, integrated soil fertility management, conservation agriculture techniques, and related indigenous knowledge. This project will complement existing nutrition interventions Action Against Hunger is currently implementing in the region. The proposed project will improve food security and nutrition outcomes for almost 20,000 children by improving agricultural practices, increasing knowledge around healthy nutrition, and providing nutrition screening for at-risk children.Desc
