The Nutrition Crisis
Why nutritious food is more than just a meal
Severe food poverty means children are often limited to only one or two food groups daily. This lack of a diverse diet directly contributes to poor physical and cognitive development.
India ranks among countries with high levels of severe child food poverty. Access to nutritious food is essential for survival, learning, health and overall well-being.
“Food security is not just about filling plates. It is about protecting dignity, health, learning and hope for vulnerable families.”
