Transforming Rural Lives Through Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture:
At the heart of KP-RETP is a powerful and sustainable approach to improving rural livelihoods: Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture. This innovative strategy empowers communities to tackle food insecurity, improve dietary diversity, and create long-lasting income opportunities through a simple yet effective model: “Grow, Eat, and Earn.”
Here’s how it works:
- Grow: Families cultivate nutritious crops, enhancing their health and resilience.
- Eat: They benefit from a more balanced, diverse diet to combat malnutrition.
- Earn: Surplus produce is sold, providing families with a steady income and supporting local economies.
By focusing on both agriculture and nutrition, KP-RETP is not just about farming—it’s about building healthier, more resilient communities. This approach strengthens self-sufficiency and provides rural households with the tools to thrive in today’s world.
