Ensuring Access to Essential Nutrients for a Thriving Population

We recognize optimal nutrition as a fundamental pillar of human development. Malnutrition, encompassing both undernutrition and overnutrition, presents a significant public health challenge with far-reaching consequences. Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) highlights the global commitment to achieving “zero hunger, food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture”. This goal acknowledges the progress made in combating hunger and malnutrition since 2000, but also emphasizes continued need for focused efforts. The impact of good nutrition extends beyond SDG 2. In fact, achieving optimal nutritional outcomes is integral to the success of all Sustainable Development Goals. By addressing malnutrition, we have the potential to create a healthier world, alleviate poverty, and foster a more sustainable future.

The Indian government has demonstrated a strong commitment to combating malnutrition through the implementation of various impactful programs, including- Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), Mid-Day Meal Scheme, Strengthened Public Distribution System (PDS), National Food Security Act (2013). These initiatives prioritize ensuring access to safe, adequate, and nutritious food for all.

Ecociate is proud to join the fight against malnutrition in India. We actively collaborate with leading organizations, including corporations, donor agencies, and innovative enterprises, to address this critical public health issue. We tap into the complex nutritional ecosystem, encompassing, health, environment, hidden hunger (micronutrient deficiencies), food diversity, & safe and nutritious food systems and contextually apply this knowledge. We have developed and implemented innovative solutions by

  * strengthening supply chains for essential nutritional products in vulnerable communities

  * developing effective fortification strategies to combat undernourishment and hidden hunger, particularly among women and children

  * fostering development of innovative, nutrition-oriented enterprises.

Through collaborative partnerships, Ecociate strives to ensure a future where everyone has access to safe and nutritious food. Join us in building a world where optimal nutrition is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
