Background info

The Agriculture, Nutrition & Health Academy brings together researchers, practitioners and policymakers working for better nutrition and health through improved agriculture and food systems.

With members from over 100 countries, the ANH Academy is a global network and platform for sharing research and evidence, capacity strengthening and collaboration across diverse disciplines.  It is one of three workstreams of the IMMANA programme (Innovative Methods and Metrics for Agriculture and Nutrition Actions), which aims to improve nutrition and health by strengthening tools, capacity and evidence in agriculture and food systems research.
