The first issue of Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition Project newsletter is out now. You can read and subscribe to it here [2]. This multidisciplinary, multi-partner project aims to provide evidence of the nutritional value of agricultural biodiversity and its role in promoting healthy diets and strengthening livelihoods in the project’s leading countries: Brazil, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Turkey.
The project is supported by The Global Environment Facility [3], the world’s largest public funder of international environmental projects, and coordinated by Bioversity International, with implementation support from the United Nations Environment Programme [4] and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [5]. ‘Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition [6]’ also brings together a significant platform of international partners to support project activities including: the World Food Programme [7]; the Earth Institute [8]; Crops for the Future [9]; the World Agroforestry Centre [10] and the World Vegetable Centre [11].
