- Social Enterprise | NNEdPro
< Our Work page SOCIAL ENTERPRISE [Nutrition Equity and Population Health] Social enterprise includes ventures and initiatives intended to contribute towards nutritional equity and population health, having resilience in the community and supporting a range of initiatives aimed at social impact. This involves: Mobile Teaching Kitchen International (MTKi) Initiative [including the ‘Bhavishya Shakti’ Co-operative Society in India] The International Food and Nutrition Trust [including Regional Awards Scheme for Excellence and Impact] Direct Action and Social Impact Incubator [including Digital Application Development and Public Engagement] Junior Ambassadors Club [including the Kids Kitchen Club Challenge and ‘The Confluence’] Virtual and Digital Operations [including Science Communications and represent Marketing] Aim Direct action and evaluation to lessen the nutrition and health inequalities gap through building transferrable and scalable models of lean innovation and through the empowerment of marginalised populations with a focus on lesser resourced settings. Mobile Teaching Kitchen International (MTKi) Initiative [including the ‘Bhavishya Sh akti’ Co-operative Society in India] The NNEdPro Mobile Teaching Kitchen Initiative empowers communities by sharing knowledge and skills through the medium of culinary nutrition education linked with micro-enterprise. It aims to enhance health and wellbeing for women, children and families across communities, especially marginalised communities, and those at risk of nutritional deficiencies, as well as beyond. Our MTK’s are multi-purpose and serve as community hubs for malnutrition prevention, health promotion and disease prevention. Education sessions and training have continued regularly since 2018. Since then, the establishment of a Microenterprise model in Kolkata, as well as translation of the model both within India and globally by launching new MTK units has led to multiple adaptations and applications of the transferrable elements of this socially impactful initiative. The International Food and Nutrition Trust [including Regional Awards Scheme for Excellence and Impact] This NNEdPro-founded Community Interest Company & Charitable Trust is responsible for the recognition of excellence and impact across our regional networks spanning over six continents. The trust has a particular focus on projects and initiatives that empower marginalized populations and all are focused on social good. Each year the trust runs an annual award scheme linked with the NNEdPro International Summit. Direct Action and Social Impact Incubator (PAUSED) [including Digital Application Development and Public Engagement] Our direct action involves public engagement awareness, education, impact assessment through knowledge exchange events, both in person, online/type and venues for social impacts include the developments facing digital apps relating to health nutrition which draw from robust science and address unmet social needs. Our virtual and digital social enterprise environment, including our links with St. John's Innovation Center in Cambridge and associated partners provides the ideal incubation opportunities for the development of digital applications and innovation for direct action and social impact. Junior Ambassadors (paused) [including the Kids Kitchen Club Challenge and ‘The Confluence’] At our 10th Anniversary in 2018 we launched our ambassadors and outreach programme with our first junior ambassador, Nikitah Ray, with a special focus on climate change, sustainability, and food security.

NNEdPro conducted a workshop in Rabat, Morocco to examine local nutrition research gaps and research capacity needs. The event brought together numerous researchers, government representatives and policy makers who worked to form a Nutrition Task Force with the ultimate goal to raise awareness of the nutrition research needs in Morocco and understand the central role of healthcare professionals in empowering and supporting local nutrition researchers. The workshop has subsequently resulted in further funding from UNESCO that is currently being used to develop a digital nutrition education platform targeted at healthcare professionals.

The International Knowledge Application Network Hub in Nutrition 2025 (Ikann) Access the Portal HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF IKANN (2018 TO 2023) During the five-year period between NNEdPro's 10th and 15th anniversary, the iKANN portal was developed with the support of the below external partners. Principal Supporter Swiss Re Institute Associate Supporters The AIM Foundation Principal Implementation Partners LGC EUFIC Associate Implementation Partners BMJ NIM Swiss Association for Co-operation on Food Education Konnexions Previous Supporters DSM GODAN In 2023, iKANN merged with the International Academy of Nutrition Educators to provide membership benefits to IANE members while still curating knowledge for a wider audience. aim KONNEXIONS GMBH The key aim of the iKANN initiative is to develop an open-access online portal with bespoke e-learning, collation of openly available knowledge resources with commentary/guidance and interactive sections for workforce capacity building. The I-KANN-25 initiative will include: Data Raw data Meta data Security Privacy Encryption Training Courses Self-directed learning Information Published evidence Evidence syntheses Guidance Evidence-based guidelines Appraisal of evidence An overview of the IKANN initiative iKANN is a collaborative initiative closely linked with NNEdPro’s Nutrition Education, Training and Skills (NETS) section which facilitates: The Cambridge Summer School in Applied Human Nutrition The Annual International Summit in Cambridge E-learning and certification iKANN seeks to connect the knowledge generated from these initiatives, to be used internationally through an online portal that will encourage regional adaptations and opportunities to facilitate learning. It will be able to promote translatable information at a global level and drive implementation of knowledge into policy and practice, also bridging the gap between Agricultural Nutrition and Human Nutrition. The online portal will have four key functions: A registry of all nutrition education research projects that are in preparation, in conduct and in published format. The registry will enable global standardising in format and promote quality standards in nutrition education research. Will be done in partnership with BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health. An open data sharing repository that informs causal inference pathways. Examples of pathways which are disease-specific include cardiometabolic, cancer and cognitive decline. The repository will include population risk assessment data, signposting and commentary on regional surveillance data e.g. National Diet and National Survey (NDNS), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Upstream data from food production and the food environment will also be included. Nutrition Education Training and Skills (NETS) providing a repository of educational strategies, educational resources and education research that is open-access and available for use by stakeholders in all parts of the world. Online Community discussion function: to support discussion about nutrition education research, segmented where needed by region. Discussions can be about data, decisions based on studies, policy and uptake of information from evidence into practice. Outcomes of the iKANN initiative will be measured using the following: Knowledge input (e.g. Contribution to data and information, registration of nutrition research) Knowledge output (e.g. Resources for information and training) Uptake/Impact (e.g. Case studies on impact/usage) Engagement (e.g. Metrics such as website link clicks/social media engagement) Changes in nutrition outcome measures outside of the I-KANN-25 website (e.g. tracked changes in nutrition data) iKANN is led by the NNEdPro Global Centre for Nutrition and Health in conjunction with supporters and implementation partners: Principal Supporter Swiss Re Institute Associate Supporters The AIM Foundation Principal Implementation Partners LGC EUFIC Associate Implementation Partners BMJ NIM Swiss Association for Co-operation on Food Education Konnexions Previous Supporters DSM GODAN Check out the iKANN concept note here.

< Regional Networks page TIGR2ESS FP6 Flagship Project 6: Impacting Wellbeing in Rural and Urban Communities Project Overview Key determinants of populations health and resilience include heredity, environment, diet, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors. Within this framework, education and, empowerment are important components that can define theories of change to improve lives and livelihoods, leading to better nutrition, health and economic outcomes. Our flagship project explores the relationships between these factors through assessing needs and piloting innovative intervention models. We have brought together a multidisciplinary group of social scientists, land economists, basic scientists and a nutrition think tank to work on several interlinking sub-projects. Our work centres around two key research themes, the first on nutrition-specific Education, Food, Nutrition and Empowerment (EFNE) and the second on more general Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Empowerment (4E). These two themes are linked by two different, innovative intervention methods: Mobile Teaching Kitchens (MTKs), a teaching method pioneered by our partner NNEdPro, and food education-focused Innovation Farms, spearheaded by a team at NIAB. Central to our flagship project is capacity building. Our research will provide an evidence base from which Indian partners and stakeholders can extend, strengthen or create their own innovative initiatives which work in the settings in which they are applied. Through bringing different research disciplines and partners together to devise and test new interventions in the field, our flagship project will enhance youth skills, women’s entrepreneurship and improve nutritional literacy. How are we putting our research into practice? 6a: Education, Food, Nutrition and Empowerment (EFNE) We are working in rural communities in several locations across India. The EFNE theme, led by Professor Nitya Rao from UEA, is using participatory research methods in Maharashtra, Punjab, Orissa and Telangana to understand past and current nutrition and dietary practices in rural communities, across genders and generations. This work will inform community-led education programmes that re-introduce traditional dietary practices, backed up by modern nutrition science, to improve health and nutrition, particularly in women. 6b: Education, Employment, Empowerment and Entrepreneurship (4E) Our 4E theme, led by Dr Shailaja Fennell from the University of Cambridge, uses a variety of techniques including use of normative data, baseline household surveys and looking at the key links between education to empower communities towards developing skills and livelihoods for employment as well as entrepreneurship. In the context of agriculture and female smallholders this includes decisions on land use, impacting productivity and household income. 6a & 6b: Mobile Teaching Kitchens (MTK) and Innovation Farms Together with NNEdPro Global Centre for Nutrition and Health, led by Professor Sumantra Ray, we have adapted their MTK intervention for use in a rural setting. We are testing this adapted version at sites including Punjab and Orissa. As we refine this intervention we will roll it out to other locations, using workshops to train Indian stakeholders so that MTKs can become a self-sustaining community-led cornerstone for nutrition education in rural settings. Innovation Farms, Dr Lydia Smith from NIAB will provide an important platform for uptake of new technologies and educational materials that stem from our research. Response to COVID-19 Unhealthy diets are the leading cause of ill-health. Without dedicated action on nutrition, all forms of malnutrition are likely to increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on food environments. Financial hardships, reduced physical activity, and altered purchasing patterns favouring products with longer shelf-life and often poorer nutrition profiles can lead to higher levels of food insecurity, undernutrition, and overweight/obesity. We are actively responding to the pandemic. We are assessing the response of the local, state and central government and even civil society to the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food essentials. It is on record that the COVID-19 pandemic response plan was not the same for all states and districts across India. States may have various responses to ensuring food availability, depending on urban, rural and tribal contexts. Example areas of investigation include: The disruption of value chains due to staff shortages; especially fairly junior low-paid packing and sorting jobs. Such disruptions may have resulted in waste where produce could not be either picked or packed. In some cases, produce has been landfilled or suffered a much decreased value or shelf-life. An absence of traders who collect agricultural produce from the farm gate has led to dumping of fruits and vegetables in India. Reduced operational hours of markets has also caused food waste. Assessing the effects of large numbers of agricultural workers returning home to their villages after the current lockdown ends.
