Why the PlumpyField® Network?
Because nearly 195 million children around the world suffer from malnutrition. Nutriset launched an innovative initiative to contribute to nutritional autonomy for all
Nutritional Autonomy
The ability of a state, community or an individual to identify and procure, via sustainable systems, the nutrients needed by young children or other population groups at-risk for malnutrition.
The core of the network focuses on common values:
- Sharing know-how, technology, and research initiatives
- Mutual assistance through continuous dialogue between the members of the network
- Sustainability by following the principles of sustainable development and the careful monitoring of financial stability
- Quality and compliance with international standards
Functioning as a network
- Enables members to react more rapidly to nutritional emergencies
- Facilitates work on chronic malnutrition in non-emergency periods
- Boosts local economies, including activities associated with the production of raw materials
- Favors the inclusion of ready-to-use food products in national food strategies
