Most attendees r transformed poachers speaking Chewa & Bemba. But everyone "gets" fruit tree portfolios: 10-12 tree species per home 2 ensure 1 tree is fruiting every month, providing year round micronutrients like Vit C, A & iron that r🔑 4 health @GoodEnergies @JochenFlasbarth

In Chipata, @CIFOR @ICRAF, ZARI & @COMACO_Zambia are training transformed poachers & others to collect seed of indigenous trees with micronutrient-rich fruit. The aim is an outsized impact on diets & livelihoods. Funded by @BMZ_Bund @JochenFlasbarth @yishan @TF_Global #Zambia

Trees & agroforestry play an important role in food and nutrition, as well as income and the environment. The Nutri-scapes transformative partnership platform promotes a tree-based landscape approach to address nutrition challenges.

Read our report https://t.co/H1EpvPyZHV Over 90% of 745 households we surveyed in rural Zambia collect wild fruit. We are helping them bring these & exotic fruit trees to their farms for better diets rich in micronutrients @OsendpNutrition @CIFOR @ICRAF @l_haddad @GAINalliance

Fruit and vegetable biodiversity are essential for dietary diversity, check out ways to maintain and improve these now, and into the future! @ICRAF @CIFOR @go_vegetables @justjody23 @mvanzonneveld @IngeBrouwer

You've til midnight to give to our #Zambia project bringing wild+naturalised fruit trees like mango to 10,000 homes, boosting biodiversity along the way, including edible insects!🦗

We have a new project delivering nutrition and resilience for smallholders in Zambia. Please get involved in putting nutrient rich fruit trees in the ground! Any sum up to $50, will be matched with 50%!
