Orange Fleshed Sweet Potatoes: Managing Hunger and Vitamin A Deficiency in Burundi

Público

80% of Burundians live in poverty, and 56.8% of children suffer chronic malnutrition. These problems were alleviated using methods adapted from Project Orange (from Uganda) in Burundi, by advertising Orange Flesh Sweet Potatoes to both farmers and consumers. These methods resulted in a decrease in Vitamin A deficiency, an increase in demand for sweet potatoes, and an increase in profit for farmers.
