Abstract

Many women and children in the high Andes suffer from anemia due to an inadequate diet. This project takes a holistic approach to addressing micronutrient deficiency, boosting food security and health and building women’s empowerment by introducing potatoes rich in iron and zinc as part of an integrated agriculture-nutrition approach.
