IIRR is tackling the challenges in our food systems through two programs
Food security and nutrition
These programs focus on addressing malnutrition through nutrition sensitive programs with an emphasis on dietary diversity.
Agriculture
Our agriculture program promotes sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices with an emphasis on agroforestry techniques. This program encourages sustainable production of the food-value chain.
Highlights of our work
Our food systems program has been implemented in countries across the world. In 2019 alone, IIRR fed 128,293 children in the Philippines and trained 898 farmers in sustainable agriculture practices in Cambodia.
