The FoodLAND partners at the Tunisian National Institute of Agronomy (INAT) have come up with different drying processes and tools, and will contribute to the project with a prototype for solar drying. This video summarises the innovations developed as well as the activities they carried out with local farmers to introduce them

International Day of Rural Women

FoodLAND's nutrition experts have generated a total of 67 nutritional recommendations for Tunisia to address malnutrition. They are tailored to the specific needs of people at different stages of the life cycle, with a special focus on children and women of reproductive age. The main nutritional guidelines consist of reducing sugar, salt and fast food, as well as increasing the consumption of v...

Members of the University of Nairobi were interviewed about the nutritional recommendations generated for the country.

Malnutrition in Ethiopia is prevalent among children, adolescents and women of breastfeeding or reproductive age. Nutrition problems differ between urban and rural areas, but are more pronounced in the latter. Due to the war in Tigray it has been difficult to conduct FoodLAND fieldwork on nutrition and diet quality, so data is now being collected. ‘Angara’ is the most dominant food in Ethiopia ...

FoodLAND nutrition experts have generated a total of 30 nutritional recommendations for Uganda to address malnutrition. In Uganda, while there are many recommendations on undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, there is a lack of recommendations on overnutrition and nutrition to prevent non-communicable diseases (diabetes, hypertension, cancers). The products developed by FoodLAND are nu...

FoodLAND's nutrition experts have generated a total of 90 nutritional recommendations for Tanzania to address malnutrition. The prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is higher in rural areas, while overweight and obesity are higher among the urban population. FoodLAND has improved bean varieties and developed processed composite flour, rich in micronutrients, especially iron and zinc. Multi-...

FoodLAND's nutrition experts have generated a total of 121 nutritional recommendations for Kenya to tackle malnutrition. They are tailored to the specific needs of people at different stages of the life cycle. In addition, they have created two types of products: quinoa-based products, for their high protein value, and tree tomato juice, which can moderate blood sugar levels and is therefore su...

Food security, nutrition and livelihoods are interconnected. To consume safe food, it is important to reduce the levels of all residues (herbicides, pesticides, agrochemicals, etc.). Packaging also plays an important role in preserving the quality and safety of products to ensure the end consumer that what he or she puts in the mouth must be safe. Food safety also depends on the empowerment of ...

The FoodLAND Nutrition Working Group research has generated 360 nutritional recommendations that are relevant, suitable and feasible to implement in the FoodLAND African partner countries. The recommendations were categorised according to their potential target audience, sorted by life-cycle groups tailored to each country. Specific NRs for Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) were generated based on...

FoodLAND's partner, Institut National Agronomique de Tunisie (INAT), has developed the solar drying system, a 100% autonomous and environmentally friendly technology that provides farmers with added value and the possibility to reduce product losses and waste. The prototype has been used to dry tomatoes, strawberries and fish and the results show that the dried products contain all the nutritio...

In these three years of the project, FoodLAND was able to collect data based on survey activities and experiments to understand the different behaviours of farmers and consumers in Africa. In addition, a wide range of technological innovations have been developed that can help the African food system in the different countries to achieve the nutritional performance indicators that were develope...

FoodLAND partner, Sokoine University of Agriculture, has implemented the innovation of the new legume local varieties in Tanzania. The study has led to the development of four bean lines with improved nutritional properties and good agricultural performance. These four varieties are particularly rich in iron and zinc, and require less cooking time. In addition, the yield for farmers is high. Th...
