The new project will support the use of fortified whole grain foods in Indian school feeding programs while linking nutrition efforts with wider food security research taking place across Africa and India.

For three days, Zambia’s capital will be a meeting point for the region’s most influential players in the grain, milling, and feed industries, as well as the wider agri-food ecosystem.

The three-year project will support school feeding programs in India, Uganda, and Ethiopia while new ICRISAT research shows sorghum can maintain yields with less nitrogen fertilizer.

The new facility will boost storage, handling, and quality control as demand grows for efficient grain logistics in Italy.
