Presented By: Deborah Dortzbach

Event: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2019 (21-11-2019)

Session : As couples work to enrich their relationship as God designed, the entire family will flourish. This session will describe the opportunity churches and communities have to strengthen couple relationships within families, promote a sustainable earth, and help families promote family nutrition and economic growth. Current concerns of gender-based violence, HIV, under nutrition, poor family planning uptake, and a limited understanding of the value of women and girls have direct influence on food security and family nutrition for generations. Effective approaches with potential for scale will be described.
