Food Assistance as a Driver of Positive Nutrition Behaviour Change: Lessons from the Food Friendly Programme in Bangladesh

A nourished individual is indispensable for the prosperity of a country. Bangladesh has made significant progress toward tackling malnutrition, eradicating poverty, and reducing social vulnerability, yet major nutrition challenges persist. In 2023-2025, 8.2% of the population remained undernourished (SOFI 2026), nearly 38.6% could not afford a healthy diet (SOFI 2026), and 30.5% experienced moderate or severe food insecurity in 2021-2023 (SOFI 2023) amid climate shocks and economic pressures. Strengthening nutrition-sensitive social protection is therefore essential.

Reducing Food Loss and Waste: Making Nutritious Foods More Available for Vulnerable Communities

Food loss and waste (FLW) undermines the availability and affordability of nutritious foods, and accounts for 8–10% of global GHG emissions.1 Every tonne of food saved avoids emissions linked to production, transportation, and storage, as well as methane released during decomposition. FLW is about more than just increasing food system efficiency. When nutritious foods are lost or wasted before they reach consumers, the resources used to grow, process, transport, and sell that food are lost along with it. FLW also means fewer safe, affordable, and healthy food options available to communities, while farmers, fishers, traders, and other food system actors lose income.

Is the fortified flour you buy really fortified?
