Faced with the global challenges of malnutrition, one conviction guides the actions of Groupe Nutriset: for a nutritional response to be sustainable, it must be rooted in the regions where needs are greatest.
This is the ambition behind the PlumpyField® network, created in 2005: a unique international network bringing together committed local producers in 9 countries to manufacture ready-to-use nutritional solutions as close as possible to the populations they serve, while adapting them to local realities.
The PlumpyField® network is built on a simple principle: produce locally to act sustainably.
By developing industrial capabilities directly in regions affected by malnutrition, the network helps to:
Behind every product manufactured are committed women and men, strengthened expertise and more resilient local ecosystems.
PlumpyField® production units play an essential role in the fight against malnutrition by providing ready-to-use nutritional products, particularly to support children and the most vulnerable populations.
Thanks to their local presence, producers within the network are able to better understand the nutritional, economic and cultural contexts of the countries where they operate. This proximity enables faster, more relevant and more sustainable responses.
Since its creation, the network has demonstrated the impact of a decentralised production model:
These figures reflect an approach that goes beyond food production alone: they represent the development of solutions capable of generating long-term human, economic and social impact.
To expand its impact, PlumpyField® works with numerous partners, including NGOs, the United Nations and governments.
These collaborations help strengthen malnutrition prevention and treatment programmes, while supporting the development of more resilient supply chains.
Through PlumpyField®, Groupe Nutriset promotes an approach to fighting malnutrition based on local empowerment, proximity and cooperation.
Addressing the nutritional needs of populations is not only about providing solutions today: it is also about enabling communities to build the solutions of tomorrow.
