DSM - Improving Nutrition, Improving Lives
“Now, more than ever, our commitment is needed to address the real issues the world is facing. In our close partnership with WFP we help to develop sustainable solutions to the problem of malnutrition.”
Feike Sijbesma, DSM CEO
DSM N.V. is a global sciences company and a world leader in the field of nutrition. DSM joined forces with WFP to form the "Improving Nutrition, Improving Lives" partnership to use its expertise for the benefit of feeding the planet's poorest people.
DSM provides technical and scientific expertise, high nutrient products and financial assistance to increase the micronutrients in WFP's food basket. The partnership has taken advantage of DSM's research and development into food fortification to create interventions such as micronutrient powders and fortified rice. These projects help WFP to go beyond just food delivery, by providing the best foods to fight hunger, preventing nutritional deficiencies of vulnerable populations.
MATCHING GIFT CAMPAIGN FOR ETHIOPIA! DSM helped WFP to raise over $250,000 by matching every dollar donated to WFP during an online campaign in June. This money will go towards improving the nutrition of children and families in Ethiopia. See a personal message from DSM CEO Feike Sijbesma.
