NUS for Healthier Diets, an initiative within the CROPS4HD project, has officially launched to promote neglected and underutilized species (NUS) across Tanzania. The campaign celebrates traditional, nutritious crops that have long been part of local food culture but have become less common on everyday plates.
Implemented by SWISSAID, FiBL and AFSA, the initiative raises awareness of the nutritional, environmental and economic value of NUS, and supports smallholder farmers — especially women — to grow them using agroecological methods.
