Birmingham India Nutrition Initiative (BINDI)
The Food Foundation set up a learning partnership between Birmingham, UK, and Pune, India. The partnership supports a Food Smart City approach.
Food Smart Cities use data and technology to improve the way food is produced, processed, distributed, and consumed.
Birmingham and Pune share a goal. They want to create safer, healthier and more sustainable food environments across their cities. This includes reducing all forms of malnutrition, such as obesity, overweight, undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies.
