%0 PDF %T Value Chains for Nutrition: What role for the public and private sector to deliver nutrient-rich foods and improve the diets of vulnerable consumer groups and how?. %A Maestre, Mar.; Margolies, Amy. %D 2017-08-28T14:43:34.102-04:00 %8 2017-09-11 %I Tufts University. Tisch Library. %R http://localhost/files/ks65hq32p %X Malnutrition is a central and persistent challenge for global development. There is increasing interest in engaging the private sector to improve diets, albeit with few successful examples. Challenges which prevent nutritious foods from reaching poorest and most vulnerable cannot be addressed by an individual business or value chain, but rather related to the market system more broadly, and will only be successfully addressed by taking a market systems approach. Over the last years, LANSA and IMMANA VCN project has been researching the role that the private sector can and should have in delivering highquality nutritious foods to nutritionally vulnerable populations and how to create an appropriate institutional environment that shapes the market to effectively deliver nutritious foods to vulnerable target groups. In this session, participants engaged with real case studies developed by LANSA from South Asia to understand the different pathways through which private sector can deliver nutrient-rich foods and potentially improve diets, the most common challenges faced by private sector organizations, and explore potential solutions. %[ 2018-10-09 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
