  10. Why should we be developing and implementing value chain approaches now?

  11. The current focus on value chain development for agriculture provides an opportunity to build in nutrition goals • Now more accepted that malnutrition in all its forms will only be solved through actions beyond the health sector • “Value chains can be developed to improve nutrition outcomes while also providing solutions to development challenges in other sectors, not least, in agriculture”
