摘要

本文从社会企业投资者和营养界的角度出发，探讨在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，对与食品相关的中小企业（SMEs）进行社会企业投资是否是改善营养状况的可行途径。从营养学的角度来看，对食品中小企业的投资可以通过改变现有食品的营养质量，帮助解决并存的多种形式的营养不良问题。从投资者的角度来看，对中小型食品企业投资的吸引力取决于财务风险、如何将成本转嫁给消费者以及产生影响的可能性。需要制定明确的营养目标和投资标准，并开展研究，以最大限度地发挥这种创新方法的潜力。

Is investing in food small and medium enterprises a viable path to improved nutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa? A multidisciplinary perspective

Through the perspectives of impact investors, and the nutrition community, this paper explores whether impact investment in food-related small and medium enterprises (SMEs) creates a viable path to improved nutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa. From the nutrition perspective, investment in food SMEs could help address coexisting multiple forms of malnutrition by shifting nutritional quality of available foods. From the investor perspective, attractiveness of investment in food SMEs depends on financial risks, how costs are passed on to consumers, and probability of impact. Clear nutritional objectives and investment criteria are needed, as well as research to maximize the potential of this innovative approach.
