Food system and demand generation

The Vegetables for All project will create FFZs in low-income urban and peri-urban areas. FFZs are the last mile/point of purchase for delivering a variety of fresh, safe, and accessible vegetables to BoP households. The program will link vendors and farmers through market facilitators, support the uptake of digital solutions for vendors to access vegetables, and support district governments to improve market infrastructure. To encourage BoP parents of children 3-9 years to buy and consume more vegetables, the program will include a demand generation component.
