Building a more nourished future – Episode 67

Hero image

For rural economies to grow sustainably, simply having food to eat is not enough. Diets must also be nutritious to ensure good health and thriving communities.

On this episode, we explore how IFAD-funded projects in the Near East, North Africa, Europe and Central Asia are diversifying and strengthening diets among the region's small-scale farmers. Travel from the flourishing school gardens of Tajikistan and Tunisia to the farms of Iraq and Moldova, where a brighter, more nutritious future is taking root.
