About

We help nutrition MSMEs grow with stronger nutrition value, business growth, and market trust.

Impacter Solutions is a consulting firm supporting nutrition agrifood MSMEs to build stronger agrifood businesses that nourish people and contribute to better food security and nutrition outcomes.

Better food systems need stronger nutrition MSMEs.

Nutrition MSMEs are central to Africa’s nutrition and food security future. Food and nutrition security will not be achieved by public policies and programs alone. Africa needs nutrition MSMEs that can produce, package, price, position, and distribute healthy foods people can trust and investors can fund.
