In this podcast, powered by GAIN, we explore diverse issues and solutions related to nutritious food. We feature voices from farmers to leaders, including a successful partnership between GAIN, HarvestPlus, and the Syngenta Foundation. They work together to combat hidden hunger globally, particularly in India, by delivering nutrient-rich biofortified foods. This collaboration aims to create sustainable market models and drive demand for biofortified crops.

Today's podcast is about a successful partnership among the Swiss NGO Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition or GAIN, HarvestPlus, an organisation that fights hidden hunger worldwide by scaling staple food crops that are rich in essential vitamins and minerals. And the Syngenta Foundation, an organisation that focuses on productivity and the inclusion of farmers in commercial value chains.
