A woman’s place is in the kitchen?

Today, its most definitely in the food innovation ecosystem!

Women are vital to food security, there productive and reproductive roles put them at the Centre of food security more than any other group. It is true that in Africa where, both as farmers and as home managers, women determine the feeding habits, dietary patterns, and nutrition and food security of their households.

Thus promoting female nutrition literacy is argued to be an important policy strategy that African leaders and development partners should consider in framing and implementing interventions for food security. But it can be hard to know how to get started especially for the new bees. That is why Afyabora nutrition organization together with our partners we have decided to show case works of women along the food system from production to the decision making, so as to learn, share experience and discover challenges and solutions  faced by champion women working to improve food and nutrition security in Tanzania.
