Food Access and Food Security
Determined among consumers by the spatial accessibility and affordability of food retailers—specifically such factors as travel time to shopping, availability of healthy foods, and food prices—relative to the access to transportation and socioeconomic resources of food buyers. Some people and places, especially those with low-income, may face greater barriers in accessing healthy and affordable food retailers, which may negatively affect diet and food security.
Precision Nutrition
GWCFRI has a proven track record of collaborating with NGOs, private sector partners, and nonprofit organizations to develop and implement innovative micronutrient fortification solutions that address both global and domestic hunger. Our team has successfully formulated scientifically backed nutrient blends tailored to the specific dietary needs of diverse populations, ensuring optimal health outcomes. Whether working on large-scale food aid programs, precision fortification for at-risk communities, or enhancing nutritional value in consumer food products, we leverage our expertise in agricultural sciences, nutrition research, and supply chain strategy to drive sustainable impact. Our deep understanding of regulatory frameworks, ingredient sourcing, and product scalability allows us to create cost-effective, high impact solutions that support food security initiatives worldwide.
