<p>DFID supports private sector innovation and investment in value chains and markets
for nutritious foods. This is done both by offering businesses technical assistance
and access to finance for investments, and by working to remove inefficiencies in
agri-food value chains. Alongside this, DFID funds research and development of nutritious
crops and agricultural technologies and supports their commercial scale-up. DFID also
works to strengthen the enabling environment to make it more conducive for companies
to invest in nutritious foods and associated inputs, technologies and services.</p><p>
</p><p>In addition, DFID supports accountability mechanisms like the Access to Nutrition
Index and the Scaling Up Nutrition Civil Society Network to further incentivise more
responsible business action on nutrition. DFID’s work in this area gives priority
to improving nutrition outcomes for women, adolescents, children under five and other
poor people, as set out in the Nutrition Position paper <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/652122/nutrition-paper-2017a.pdf"
