MoA & FW and ISB had announced their collaboration towards the end of last year with the objective of strengthening agriculture-nutrition linkage in India. The collaboration will focus to improve the availability, accessibility, and affordability of nutrient-dense foods (fruits, vegetables and animal-source foods) to low-income consumers in India through policy, markets, and technology. The design and implementation of the interventions are being set out to be gender-inclusive and climate-change ready as well.
