Please join Agrilinks for an #AskAg Twitter Chat on linking agriculture and nutrition. Experts from USAID, the 1000 Days Initiative, and the SPRING Project will be on hand to provide insights into why agriculture and nutrition programming can go hand in hand, what challenges face program designers and implementers, and the role that USAID's new Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Strategy plays in addressing these efforts. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and resources, and to contribute evidence and perspective on how to best make integrated programming get maximum nutritional outputs from agricultural inputs.
