Expected Outcome:
Develop new, locally produced supplementary foods that meet WHO and Codex Alimentarius standards (e.g., CXG 95-2022).
Create science-based recipes that could complement or replace current RUTFs in specific contexts.
Address challenges like high transport costs, limited access in fragile regions, and carbon footprint of current solutions.
Scope:
Support local production of RUSF and RUTF in African countries using climate-adapted, biodiversity-friendly ingredients.
Reduce reliance on imported components by scaling up sustainable, locally sourced alternatives.
Align with the Food 2030 approach, emphasizing nutrition, climate resilience, circularity, and innovation.
In total, two projects will be funded, with the European Union providing the funding.
Budget per project: Around €4.000.000,00
