Thank you H.E. Ambassador of Finland 🇫🇮 @PetriPuhakka for visiting @WFP_Nepal activities in Sindhupalchowk and seeing firsthand how integrated approaches are strengthening food systems, nutrition, and livelihoods in Nepal.

I deeply value @FinlandinNepal’s partnership and continued support to the people of Nepal through @WFP . I also appreciate the Government of Nepal’s leadership in advancing Home-Grown School Feeding - linking local agriculture to school meals, boosting livelihoods.

It was inspiring to see the community members producing fresh food for schools and their children enjoying hot, nutritious meals.

💚Love pulses - Love the planet!

Local beans in Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF) bring:

+ Nutritious meals for children
+ Market opportunities for smallholder farmers
+ Reduced carbon footprint with local sourcing

In 2025, 888 schools, 1,444 farmers & 204 cooperatives directly benefitted from HGSF in Karnali.

Guess how many people indirectly benefitted from this?
