Scaling up small-scale food processing for complementary food for children in Vietnam : project story
The project established and scaled up a sustainable value chain for fortified foods using locally grown crops, local manufacturing facilities, and local distribution channels in the remote mountainous regions of northern Vietnam (Lao Cai, Lai Chau, and Ha Giang). Among children who consumed the fortified complementary foods, results indicate that child underweight rate has been reduced to 13.9% from 17.2% and the rate of anemia reduced from 61.3% to 16.1%. Almost 3,000 kg of instant fortified porridge has been provided to date during mid-morning meals to 2,550 children in 21 pre-schools in Lao Cai region, Vietnam.

A gender analysis of the food system in Northern Vietnam
The use of a food systems approach in examining gender differences and gender roles play can be an important consideration in all aspects of a food system. This paper focuses on the households relationship with the food system as it relates to: agriculture and food production, the marketing of food, and food consumption patterns such as purchasing food products, knowledge about food and decisions about food consumption. With each of these subjects, we will explore: What constraints and opportunities, especially those which are gender-baased, do households face? How are decisions related to food made within the household unit? What are the gender-based practices that are a part of households relations to the food system?

Passage à grande échelle de la production d’aliments enrichis et thérapeutiques au Vietnam : profil de projet
Des chercheurs du Vietnam et du Canada s’attaquent à la pauvreté et à la malnutrition chez les femmes et les enfants à l’aide d’aliments enrichis provenant de cultures, d’installations de production et de canaux de distribution à l’échelle locale. Cette approche axée sur le marché réduit la dépendance à l’égard des aliments enrichis importés, crée une source de revenu plus stable pour les petites exploitantes agricoles et offre une sécurité alimentaire durable pour des milliers de personnes vivant dans les régions rurales du Vietnam.
