MotherFood International is a Canadian social enterprise dedicated to creating innovative ways to address malnutrition and poverty in the developing world. The key is with mothers. When a mother has poor nutrition before, during and after pregnancy, her child’s physical and cognitive development is irreversibly affected for life. One common outcome is stunting. Stunting occurs when a child is short for their age, and also suffers from severe immune deficiencies and cognitive impairments.
