In #Tanzania the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is higher in rural areas, while overweight and obesity are higher among the urban population. To tackle malnutrition in the country #FoodLAND's nutrition experts have generated a total of  nutritional recommendations tailored to the specific needs of people at different stages of the life cycle.

In addition, the #SUA team has improved bean varieties and developed processed composite flour, rich in micronutrients, especially iron and zinc. Multi-sectoral collaboration will be important, from production to consumption, for dietary diversification.
