On a mission to create a hunger-free world, agricultural entrepreneur Cedric Habiyaremye makes the case for cultivating quinoa -- and other versatile, nutrient-rich grains -- in places experiencing malnutrition, like his native Rwanda. He shares a model to help smallholder farmers across Africa diversify their fields with nutritious and indigenous crops, taking a step towards ensuring healthy foods are available and affordable for all.

Empowering farmers with quinoa diversifies diets and combats chronic malnutrition, showcasing a scalable model for global hunger solutions.

Expanding nutritious crops like quinoa could help tackle chronic malnutrition in places where traditional farming falls short. In Rwanda, over 70 percent of people work in agriculture, yet many still battle stunting and poor diets. New crops such as quinoa have already improved local farmers’ livelihoods, giving families regular access to balanced meals. This approach can be replicated in other regions facing hunger and poor nutrition.
