In a nation where undernourishment remains a pressing public health concern, Women in Agriculture for Sustainable Development (WASUDEV) is proud to announce the successful completion of its Food Fluency Training Program, reaching 200 women smallholder farmers across local communities in Liberia.

With 38.4% of Liberia’s population facing undernourishment and 26.6% of children under five suffering from stunted growth (low height-for-age), the urgency to address food insecurity and poor nutrition is more critical than ever. Malnutrition is not merely a lack of food—it is a lack of knowledge, access, and diversity in diets, especially in rural and agricultural communities where women play a central role in food production and family nutrition.

What is Food Fluency—and Why Does It Matter?

Food fluency goes beyond just knowing what to eat. It’s about understanding the nutritional value of food, how to prepare it, where it comes from, and how it connects to both the soil and human health. The WASUDEV training focused on equipping rural women—many of whom are mothers and caretakers—with the knowledge and confidence to make healthier food choices using what they already grow locally.

Empowering Women as Nutrition Champions

At WASUDEV, we believe that knowledge is power 💪. By equipping women with critical information and practical skills, we’re not just fighting hunger—we’re building nutrition champions who can lead the change in their homes, communities, and agricultural networks. These women are now better positioned to make informed decisions about their families’ diets, improve child health, and pass on this knowledge to others.

Gratitude to Our Partners
