The State of Odisha in India is characterised by rainfed farming and agriculture is the primary occupation. Undernutrition is at a critical level with the National Family Health Survey showing Odisha in poor light. Therefore in 2016, to propel action towards development in the State and to frame realistic action plans, the government decided on a Vision 2036 Policy Document in line with the SDG targets and involved civil society organisations as well as experts to help articulate strategies at the grassroots level. LANSA was recognised for bringing attention to ‘agriculture for nutrition’ in Odisha State through several multi-level, multi-sectoral research uptake efforts under the MSSRF Farming System for Nutrition (FSN) study since 2013.
