Welcome to the workspace of the CIMMYT Nutrition Learning Initiative (CNLI).
Welcome to the workspace of the CIMMYT Nutrition Learning Initiative (CNLI).
The CNLI was started in 2017 as a cross-program effort to learn about each other's ongoing work in quality & nutrition; to develop shared definitions of key concepts; to serve as an internal peer-review group for agriculture, nutrition and health manuscripts, communications, etc; to explore new areas of collaboration internally and externally and develop proposals; and to build the foundations for CIMMYT's Strategy in Nutrition. We aim to make CIMMYT a known player and partner in the nutrition-in-agrifood-systems space.
This space is for discussions and document development. Anyone at CIMMYT or our partner institutions with an interest in learning about agriculture and nutrition is welcome to join this group. If you'd like to join, please contact CNLI Coordinator, Jenny Nelson. The chair of the CNLI is Natalia Palacios, Head of CIMMYT Maize Quality. For a list of members, see the Resources tab.
