The Role of Plant Protein in Combating Malnutrition in Africa
Malnutrition continues to affect millions across Africa, with protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) posing one of the greatest threats to health, education, and productivity. As animal protein remains expensive and inaccessible for many families, innovative plant-based solutions are stepping in. From upcycling corn cobs into nutrient-rich protein to integrating affordable options into school feeding programs, plant protein offers a sustainable and scalable path to fight hunger and build food security across the continent.
