Food Security and Health for East Africa

这一“东非粮食安全和健康”全球气候基金的《全球粮食安全和健康协定》提案的重点是打破目前生计不良和人类健康不良的恶性循环，将粮食安全和健康挑战作为一个高度相关的单一发展问题加以解决。我们的建议是从粮食安全和健康的角度看待人与环境之间的相互关系，具体目标是：㈠通过生产可在东非种植的适应气候和抗病的马铃薯新品种，改善主食的供应; ㈡利用对虾减少人类血吸虫病的发病率（Macrobrachium Rosenbergium）破坏感染循环;和（iii）提高结核病（TB）的诊断准确性和慢性阻塞性肺疾病，包括改善这些疾病治疗中的抗生素管理。营养可以提高免疫力，使营养充足的人不易感染，如果感染，他们有更好的治疗效果。

This "Food Security and Health for East Africa" GCRF GRTA proposal focuses on breaking the current vicious circle of poor sustenance and poor human health by tackling food security and health challenges as a single highly connected developmental issue. The context of our proposal is the interrelationship between people and their environments seen through the lenses of food security and health, with the specific objectives of:(i) improving the availability of staple food by producing new climate resilient and disease resistant potato varieties that can be grown in East Africa; (ii) reducing the incidence of human Schistosomiasis by using prawns (Macrobrachium Rosenbergii) to disrupt the infection cycle; and(iii) increasing diagnostic accuracy of tuberculosis (TB) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases including improving antibiotic stewardship in the treatment of these diseases. Nutrition boosts immunity making nourished people less susceptible to infection, and if infected, they have better treatment outcomes.
