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.
Farm households in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas continue to rapidly adopt oil palm, often at the expense of rainforests and traditional food crops.

Vietnamese food systems have experienced a transition process since the late 1980s Đổi mới reforms.
In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, considerable dietary shifts, including an increase in the consumption of fruit and vegetables (FV) will be required.
This study documents the characteristics and functioning of fruit and vegetable (FV) value chains in select places in Ethiopia.
This study examines malnutrition’s triple burden, including anaemia, overweight, and stunting, among children aged 6–59 months.
Adolescent and young women face grave nutrition challenges, but limited evidence exists on solutions to improve their diets.
The Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) has been recommended as a simple diet quality metric that is reflective of both nutrient adequacy and noncommunicable disease outcomes.
Despite African consumers under-consuming nutrient dense fruits and vegetables (FV) and animal products (AP), and the farm production and supply chains of these products are fraught with constraints that keep them from operating optimally, we find
Early life nutrition sets the stage for the health, nutrition, and development of young children.
This study traces the consumption of animal-source foods (ASF) during a period of rapid economic change and food system transformation in Myanmar.
South Asia is home to more adolescents than any global region, and one in five adolescents globally live in India.
