• Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) -based practices that have the potential to:
1. Sustainably achieve food security (increase food production without further depleting water and soil resources)
2. Increase resilience of farmers and farming systems to climatic change
3. Improve capacity of systems to sequester carbon and mitigate climate change (increasing carbon stocks in terrestrial systems- farmland, grassland or forests)

Why NSA? • The link between nutrition and agriculture, and the role of agricultural transformation
in preventing malnutrition, remains undefined
• Malnutrition continues to adversely impact Africa, with 20% of Africa’s people classified as “undernourished” (FAO 2014-16)
• While the global rates of malnutrition are declining, Africa has the highest rates of undernourishment and the number of malnourished children in Africa is increasing
• Africa’s predominantly smallholder farming households continue to suffer from poorly diversified and low nutrient diets
• Agriculture has a critical role to play in improving nutrition levels for all across the continent.
2017 FANRPAN Regional Food and Nutrition Security Policy Dialogue Durban, South Africa 🁢 15-17 August 2017
Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture
• This is one of two technical thematic areas of focus
• Addresses the following issues: • Production and income
• Knowledge and behavior
• Women and youth empowerment
• Nutrition financing
• Communities of practice
• Integrates the traditional objectives of agricultural development (production, productivity, food security and income) with nutrition
2017 FANRPAN Regional Food and Nutrition Security Policy Dialogue Durban, South Africa 🁢 15-17 August 2017
NSA Projects
• Agriculture to Nutrition (ATONU): Improving Nutrition Outcomes Through Optimized Agriculture Investments:
• Started August 2014. • Integrate nutrition into existing and pipeline projects
• Nutri-HAF Project, Ethiopia • Diversifying agriculture for balanced nutrition through fruits and vegetables in multi-storey cropping systems • Test nutritious vegetables that can grow under shade in the forest or in homegardens • Training and capacity building of smallholders and extension agents on nutrition, health and vegetable and
fruit production, processing and utilisation
• Provision of Technical Assistance to the IFAD-Nigeria Value Chain Development Programme to Make it Nutrition-Sensitive:
• Starting shortly • Integrate nutrition into rice and cassava value chains

first 1,000 days of life, high burden of malnutrition
2017 FANRPAN Regional Food and Nutrition Security Policy Dialogue Durban, South Africa 🁢 15-17 August 2017
ATONU Approach
• ATONU seeks to answer the question: “How can agriculture programs be designed to improve nutrition outcomes?”
• ATONU works with existing agricultural development projects and programmes to:
• Identify and design nutrition-sensitive interventions to deliver positive nutrition outcomes
• Assess and collect evidence of the impact of interventions
• Provides technical assistance to ensure effectiveness of nutrition-sensitive interventions in agriculture programmes

2017 FANRPAN Regional Food and Nutrition Security Policy Dialogue Durban, South Africa 🁢 15-17 August 2017
• ATONU is working with the African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) Project in Ethiopia and Tanzania
• ACGG is being implemented by ILRI
• The objective of ACGG is: to improve the production and productivity of chickens kept by smallholder households by introducing improved and tropically adapted genotypes
• ATONU is integrating and assessing the impact of a package of nutrition-sensitive interventions (NSIs) into ACGG to provide evidence for agriculture’s potential to deliver positive nutrition outcomes
Pilot Projects
2017 FANRPAN Regional Food and Nutrition Security Policy Dialogue Durban, South Africa 🁢 15-17 August 2017
Pathway Nutrition-Sensitive Intervention
Production for household consumption
Introduction of improved and adapted chicken genotypes (ACGG)
Social Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) on nutrition education and hygiene to increase consumption of eggs and chicken meat
Promotion of home gardens for improved dietary diversity
Income-oriented production for purchase of food
Increased expenditure on nutritious food from household incomes from sale of eggs and chicken
Women empowerment Changes in women’s time use and status (decision-making) within the household
NSIs and Pathways
2017 FANRPAN Regional Food and Nutrition Security Policy Dialogue Durban, South Africa 🁢 15-17 August 2017
Service Providers: • Ethiopia: Harvard Chan School of Public Health and local partner • Tanzania: Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA)
Evaluation Questions: • What is the impact of implementing ACGG alone? • What is the added value of implementing NSIs (SBCC, income expenditure on nutritious
food, women empowerment and home gardening)
Main Indicators • Dietary diversity in women of reproductive age • Weight and anaemia (Ethiopia) in women of reproductive age • Dietary diversity, anaemia (Ethiopia) (and growth) in young children below 5 years
