Better Together: Improving Food Security & Nutrition by Linking Market and Food Systems

Click here to enter the webinar.

Market-based approaches to food security often increase agricultural productivity and income yet sometimes fail to enhance nutrition. When food security programming combines market and food systems with a specific focus on women and girls, economic and nutrition outcomes benefit. Some elements from markets and food systems enhance nutrition outcomes when they are combined.

This webinar will explore:

• A literature review of market and food systems
• The Inclusive Market and Food Systems Model
• The importance of bringing the market to vulnerable households
• How empowering women multiplies nutritional outcomes
• How access does not necessarily equal consumption
• The impact of COVID-19 on programming and adaptive management for livelihood programs

The webinar is organized by World Vision, Catholic University of America, Care, and Abilene Christian University.
