Background The Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) is a rapid dietary assessment tool designed to enable feasible measuring and monitoring of diet quality at population level in the general public.
Background
Zinc-biofortified potatoes have considerable potential to reduce zinc deficiency because of their low levels of phytate, an inhibitor of zinc absorption, and their high consumption, especially in the Andean region of Peru.
Increasing the adoption of conservation agriculture: A framed field experiment in Northern Ghana
Conservation agriculture techniques have the potential to increase agricultural production while decreasing CO2 emissions, yet adoption in the developing world remains low—in part because many years of continuous adoption may be required to realiz
Cluster farming is increasingly recognized as a viable means of improving smallholder economic integration and commercialization in many developing countries. However, little is known about its impact on smallholder welfare and livelihoods.
Gender gaps in land rights: Explaining different measures and why households differ in Myanmar
Measuring and understanding gender differences in property rights is key to informing policy decisions and guiding investments aimed at fostering gender equality. However, there are a myriad ways of assessing property rights.
A long history of empirical research has focused on testing whether and when household consumption and production decisions are separable. If markets were perfect, household consumption would be independent of production.
Temporal dietary diversity patterns are associated with linear growth but not ponderal growth in young children in rural Vietnam
Background: The first 2 y of life mark critical changes in children’s diet from milk-based food to diverse food rich in taste and texture, but few studies in low-resource settings have explored the changes in diet quality during this period.
Background: Bangladesh is urbanizing rapidly, facing challenges of malnutrition, low coverage and poor quality of urban nutrition services.
Aspirations influence future-oriented behavior and ensuing outcomes but they may also fail to do so when the aspired-to-status is far away from the current one.
Long-term association between maternal preconception hemoglobin concentration, anemia, and child health and development in Vietnam
Background
The long-term association between preconception maternal hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and child health and development is unclear.
Background
Yellow fleshed potatoes biofortified with iron have been developed through conventional breeding but the bioavailability of the iron is unknown.
Background: One-third of preschool children in Myanmar were stunted in 2015–2016, and three-quarters of children 6–23 mo had inadequate diet diversity.
Long term association between of maternal preconception hemoglobin and anemia and child health and development in Vietnam
Background: The long-term association between preconception maternal hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and child health and development is unclear.
Modern cooling technologies that utilize renewable energy sources have been increasingly recognized as promising tools to address various challenges emerging in progressively complex agrifood systems in developing countries.
