CIP Rwanda Good Nutrition and Innovative Urban Farming Campaign

In November The International Potato Centre in conjunction with the City of Kigali launched the Kigali Good Nutrition and Innovative Urban Farming Campaign. Here, CIP's Regional Nutritionist Dr Robert Acatiah-Armah and Valentine Uwase demonstrate to pregnant and lactating mothers, and mothers of children under the age of 2 how to prepare a balance meal for strong healthy young bodies. Of course orange-fleshed sweetpotato was on the menu. Did you know as little as 125 gms of biofortified orange-fleshed sweetpotato provides enough of the daily recommended dose of Vitamin A to protect a child from under 5 from Vitamin A deficiency.
