Abstract
This presentation outlines Nutri‑Boost, a fortified, locally sourced nutrition powder designed to reduce childhood malnutrition in Bihar, India. The project responds to widespread poverty, limited healthcare access, and inadequate dietary diversity by offering an affordable, shelf‑stable product for primary schools and low‑income families. Nutri‑Boost strengthens local agriculture, uses environmentally sustainable packaging, and operates through a community‑based value chain involving farmers, NGOs, and government partners. Financial projections demonstrate a scalable nonprofit model with strong social, economic, and environmental impact.

Comments
This final course project was developed during the Spring 2026 semester in BCOR 1910.18: Business for Good. Using a bottom-up immersion approach, students created Nutri-Boost, a fortified, locally sourced nutrition powder designed to reduce childhood malnutrition in Bihar, India. The project addressed challenges related to widespread poverty, limited healthcare access, and inadequate dietary diversity while promoting social, environmental, and economic sustainability.
Throughout the semester, students applied entrepreneurship, ethical decision-making, and sustainable business principles to design an affordable, shelf-stable nutrition solution that supports local agriculture, strengthens community-based value chains, and improves child health outcomes through partnerships with farmers, NGOs, and government stakeholders.
