Local, nutritious food-centered micro-enterprise is pivotal to sustainably alleviate malnutrition and to progress toward gender equity.
IFDC and Malnutrition Matters empower rural or village-based women and youth to use the low-cost SoyaKit to make affordable, protein-rich soyfoods for their neighborhoods, while making a daily U.S. $4 profit. Increased income generation is foundational for gender equity.
This micro-enterprise requires 2 days’ training in food-processing and business, is environmentally friendly (soyfoods require 10x less energy than animal protein), produces many tasty foods, is quickly profitable, and is a strong catalyst for gender equity initiatives with a policy/cultural/educational focus.
Join Hart Jansson and Caroline Sage on Monday, July 26, at 13:30 CEST to discuss our work together in these areas. Registration is free and open to all.
Economic Empowerment of Women to Combat Malnutrition is a United Nations Food Systems Summit 2021 Pre-Summit Affiliated Session hosted by IFDC, Malnutrition Matters, and 2SCALE. |
