Getting Nutritious Foods to People

The Second Global Conference on Biofortification is designed to be a consultation with major stakeholders who can help mainstream biofortification as a nutrition and public health intervention.

There will also be an opportunity to visit Rwandan communities growing nutritious crops.

The consultation will be an interactive forum to engage and learn from researchers and policymakers, farmers and businesspeople alike.
