Description

Primary Indicator: Number of districts with developed and implemented community led, nutrition sensitive, climate resilient agricultural practices action plans.

- KPI: Action plans developed and implemented in all 25 districts by 2028.

The commitment aligns with the GNR's emphasis on: 1. promoting nutrition-sensitive agriculture; 2. addressing climate resilience in food systems; 3. empowering local communities, including women and youth, to improve nutrition and food security.

The Ministry of Lands and Agriculture is committed to nutrition-sensitive agriculture - an innovative approach that integrates agricultural practices with nutritional outcomes. It recognises the critical link between food production and nutrition, aiming to enhance the quality of food produced while also increasing the quantity. This approach goes beyond simply growing more food; it focuses on producing diverse, nutrient-rich crops that can improve the health and well-being of communities.
