Addressing Malnutrition Through Integrated Rice-Duck Farming in Nepal

This project fostering integrated rice–duck farming in Nepal will raise incomes through higher productivity and lower fertilizer costs, along with other farm input costs, while reducing malnutrition by providing a continuous supply of protein and vitamin-enriched food.  About half of Nepalese children under five years are malnourished (45% are underweight, 43% have stunted growth) and the problem is most severe among smallholder farm families.
