CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health publishes 2020 annual report
The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) published its 2020 annual report on activities and accomplishments from its five research flagships:
- food systems for healthier diets;
- biofortification;
- food safety;
- supporting policies, programs, and enabling action through research; and
- improving human health.
Noting that the year 2020 was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, A4NH director John McDermott said: “The pandemic emphasized the importance of A4NH core research strengths: One Health, nutrition, and food systems, into which gender and equity considerations are integrated as critical to improve nutrition and health outcomes. As a result, A4NH research leaders and teams were called into central roles in COVID-19 response and recovery efforts during 2020 by CGIAR as well as in programs and projects in partner countries.”
The 10-year research program ended in December 2021 as CGIAR transitions to a new research structure and portfolio from 2022.
