Participants will include farmers, processors, marketers, and consumers of nutritious foods as well as food industries, seed companies, input dealers, research institutions, and students.\n\nAmong many objectives, the NFF will increase the production, value addition, marketing, and consumption of foods made from biofortified staple crops such as vitamin A cassava, vitamin A maize, orange sweetpotato, and iron and zinc sorghum, in addition to creating 3000 new job opportunities in the nutritious food sector.\n\nThe Food Fair has become an annual flagship event of HarvestPlus Nigeria and one that many people nationwide anticipate. Consumers will get to experience a world of nutritious food and drink options, traditional and masquerade dances, and special events such as the grand finale with the NutriQuiz competition for secondary schools, the NutriYield competition for farmers, and NutriCook competition for caterers.\n\nThe largest, nutritious cassava dish in the world will be unveiled for the Guinness World Records and a new platform for women called \u201cSmart Mother\u201d will be launched to give women a voice in nutrition.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third edition of HarvestPlus\u2019 Nutritious Food Fair (NFF) is all set for 28\u201230 November with the theme: \u201cScaling-up nutritious food choices: Engaging everyone, everywhere\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":16539,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"tags":[1840],"science-area":[],"program":[],"location":[32],"news-type":[],"hub":[61],"crop":[],"impact-areas":[],"item-year":[195],"class_list":["post-16538","news-item","type-news-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cassavaharvestplusiita-news-no-2409maizesweetpotato","location-nigeria","hub-western-africa","item-year-195"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
