20 Years of Impact

For a Food Systems Transformation

Last year, we celebrated our 20th anniversary and saw the scaling of biofortification make significant progress.

By the end of 2023, over 330 million people were eating biofortified food, including 103 million on farm who ate what they grew. In addition, biofortified food available on markets was enough to feed an estimated 227 million people. 

The report summarizes the many ways in which biofortification is being embedded into food systems, through collaborations with public, private, and civil society partners. Features include:

• Country-by-country examples of commitments made by national leaders and governments that are catalyzing nutritious and resilient food systems.
• An update on how we work with HarvestPlus Solutions and its network partners – to facilitate access to affordable and accessible nutritious foods
• Activities that are empowering women and cultivating smallholder farmers’ livelihoods.
• Examples of how biofortification and training on good agronomic practices are building resilience to climate change
• A review of delivery of biofortified foods through home grown school feeding programs to build nutritious safety nets
• Initiatives to stimulate demand for biofortified foods with small businesses and
• New research findings to guide evidence-informed programming and policies
