Farmer Nutrition Schools (FNS) empower smallholder farmers to grow both seasonal & off-seasonal vegetables - boosting family nutrition & strengthening incomes through local markets. 💪🥦

Through FNS, @WFP_Nepal is helping farmers learn climate- sensitive farming practices.

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.
