USAID-ACCESO Project | Spotlight Analysis: Nutrition and Agriculture

USAID-ACCESO, a four-year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is assisting more than 30,000 households in six departments in western Honduras. The project, which began in April 2011, is working to lift rural households out of poverty and undernutrition through access to economic development opportunities and improved health and nutrition practices. The project is increasing sales and incomes by introducing basic production practices and market-driven programs for high-value cash crops, as well as expanding off-farm microenterprise and employment opportunities.

This two-page brief outlines how the Feed the Future project in Honduras is integrating nutrition into its key agriculture program.
