Harvest Plus associate research fellow Monica Jain was quoted in the Guardian’s Global Development Professionals Network saying that one way to improve nutrition among adolescent girls was to challenge stereotypes. “Adolescent girls should be thought of for more than just their reproductive potential,” Jain said on a panel organized by GAIN. “Addressing malnutrition, including anemia, can have benefits on their school performance, current and future productivity at home and in the workforce in addition to reproductive health outcomes.”
