Founded in 2010, Edesia is a non-profit, social enterprise, comprised of 125 people from 25 countries that operates around the clock producing specialized foods that target the different stages of malnutrition. We partner with humanitarian aid organizations like UNICEF, WFP, and USAID who distribute our products all over the world.
Every 11 seconds a child dies from severe malnutrition
Climate change, conflict and the pandemic are driving the need for our foods to levels we have never seen before. Three million children will die from malnutrition this year and 100% of these deaths are preventable. Let’s work together to end this crisis.
RUTF (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food) is a life-saving peanut-based paste made from milk powder, peanuts, soy, oil, sugar, and vitamins and minerals. We call this miracle food Plumpy’Nut. It does not require water or refrigeration, can be administered at home and can rehabilitate a child under five in just eight weeks.
