This GAIN working paper evaluates workforce nutrition interventions in farm settings, assessing their impact, feasibility, and scalability. It discusses access-based models such as door-to-door nutrition sales, last-mile delivery shops, and improved canteen meals, as well as demand-based approaches like farmer-to-farmer training and community health workers. The paper concludes that combining both access and demand strategies is essential to maximize nutrition benefits for agricultural workers.
