Great to see @HarvestPlusSoln + @CGIARScaling (S4I) bring policymakers, women farmers, seed sector, researchers, finance + private sector into one room to align on strengthening delivery systems for #Nutrition at scale.
Ambition scales when it’s built on systems—not standalone interventions. At @HarvestPlus and @CGIARScaling workshop, the message was clear: link seed systems, farmer adoption, consumer demand, and policy + investment to move biofortification beyond pilots to nationwide impact.
