World Vision International has signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Food Plant Solutions Rotary Action Group (FPS).
For a small Tasmanian-born Rotary initiative to be recognised at this level – by one of the world’s largest humanitarian organisations – is extraordinary.
But more importantly, it’s essential.
Malnutrition is one of the biggest preventable threats to children under five. Families need solutions that are practical, local, affordable, and climate-resilient. That’s exactly where FPS and World Vision align.
In World Vision’s words:
“Food Plant Solutions offers an excellent suite of tools and resources which perfectly complement World Vision’s food-based approaches in over 20 countries… Micronutrient-rich, under-utilised species are a very important opportunity for children. Together, we’re going to bring local food solutions to the plates of needy children around the world.”
– Dan Irvine, Global Director for Health and Nutrition, WVI
Here’s why this moment matters…
FPS’s local-plant approach gives communities practical, low-cost, sustainable options to improve child nutrition. And World Vision’s global programs give this work the reach it needs and deserves.
This MoU is more than just an agreement. It’s a major step forward in how we tackle child malnutrition, together.
