HNC is actively committed to tackling major global challenges in human health and nutrition, but no one party can solve them alone. We are working in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Food Program and Sight & Life organization to combat hunger and malnutrition among the most vulnerable populations, including children and pregnant women.

By sharing our knowledge and expertise, we are making progress toward our shared goal of reaching 800 million people through cost-effective large-scale food fortification (LSFF). LSFF is one of the most cost-effective ways to address malnutrition, but essential micronutrients embedded in the most consumed staple foods must be of high quality as well as being affordable. We are playing a key role in scaling up access to fortified staples, such as rice, flour and cooking oil.
