The WFP Centre of Excellence for Rural Transformation (WFP China COE) organizes a comprehensive webinar series on Food Fortification and Nutrition Improvement from May 21 to June 11, 2026. The webinar consists of four sessions in total, providing a collaborative platform for knowledge exchange among developing countries to explore diverse technical solutions for improving nutrition. The four sessions are as follows:

 

Session I: Food Fortification Against Malnutrition

Session II: Fortification Technology and Approach

Session III: Fortified Nutritional Products

Session IV: Fortification of Widely Consumed Foods

 

This course is part of Session II: Fortification Technology and Approach. The session aims to bridge public health interventions with industrial production practices by presenting technical approaches for staple-food fortification and the precise use of nutrient premixes. It is structured around two main parts: Wheat Flour Fortification in China, and Inside Premix—Definition, Advantages, and Scientific Usage. The first part outlines China’s micronutrient‑related public health challenges and introduces the national Wheat Flour Fortification Project, highlighting intervention models that significantly reduced neural tube defects in rural populations. The second part examines the industrial principles behind nutrient premixes, detailing their advantages in improving production efficiency and ensuring blending homogeneity through precise formulation design and rigorous processing protocols.

* Participants who successfully complete the course and pass a corresponding quiz will receive a certificate of achievement.
