Expanding Nutrients in Food Systems (ENFS) project

RDRS Bangladesh is implementing the Expanding Nutrients in Food Systems (ENFS) project to improve nutrition and public health by developing and promoting biofortified food crops, funded by IFPRI-HarvestPlus. RDRS Bangladesh is working closely with government agencies and private sectors to improve nutrition security and livelihoods of vulnerable people, especially women of reproductive age, adolescent girls, and children (boys and girls) aged 6-59 months. This is a four-year project aimed at popularizing biofortified zinc rice in the three districts of northern Bangladesh: Dinajpur, Nilphamari, and Rangpur. The first phase ran from December 2023 to March 2024. The second phase, which continues and expands the activities from Phase 1, began in April 2024 and is set to conclude in March 2025.
